ilomilo used to be
billie eilish's favorite computer game ever. there are these 2 little creatures, one is named ilo (pronounced ee-low) and one is named milo (pronounced mee-low). ilo and milo start apart from each other in this anti-gravity world with all these little blocks floating around, and the point of the game is to get them to each other. when they get to each other, they hug.
the idea of the game is losing the person you
love, and finding them again. that is what
billie eilish's song, ilomilo, is about. it's also about the fear of separation. ilomilo is the eleventh song in billie eilish's new album: WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
