Ocean Eyes is the debut single by Billie Eilish, released in 2015 when she was just 13 years old. The song was written and produced by her brother Finneas O’Connell. It is a slow, dreamy electro-pop track that deals with the themes of infatuation, vulnerability, and the overwhelming nature of another person’s love.
The song refers to how Billie herself became captivated by someone’s blue eyes, hence the song title, “Ocean Eyes.” The somber melody mixed with Billie’s soft vocals all offer up an ethereal ambiance that leaves listeners mesmerized, as did others upon hearing “Ocean Eyes.” Although it was originally written for her dance teacher to perform to, instead she recorded it and put it on SoundCloud. Since then, it blew up online, racking up millions of plays within weeks.
Since then, this track really shows off Billie’s style with her simple yet introspective lyrics detailed about a certain scenario in her life. You can hear every word she says. I think that’s what makes this song & track so much more real than anyone else, any so-called modern artist. Instead of talking/rapping/swearing about stupidity or lazy, predictable sex, you actually feel dizzy just listening to the tune. I mean, track over which ever version remix or cover vocally sung because BilIe has one helluva voice where Heart Talking Never Lies.

Ocean Eyes Lyrics
I’ve been watchin’ you for some time
Can’t stop starin’ at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I’m scared
I’ve never fallen from quite this high
Fallin’ into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
I’ve been walkin’ through a world gone blind
Can’t stop thinkin’ of your diamond mind
Careful creature made friends with time
He left her lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I’m scared
I’ve never fallen from quite this high
Fallin’ into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
Da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da
Mm
Mm
Mm
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I’m scared
I’ve never fallen from quite this high
Fallin’ into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes
