O novo single do álbum de Billie Eilish foi liberado hoje, 2 de junho. Lost Cause é o 4º single de Happier Than Ever e a cantora postou uma selfie avisando aos fãs reforçando a mensagem Nothing but a Lost Cause, nada além de uma causa perdida.

Lost Cause vem depois da potente Your Power, onde ela cantou sobre abuso sexual, Therefore I Am e my future.

No vídeo, Billie dança com amigas em sua casa, bebendo e comendo bobagens enquanto chega à conclusão de que o namorado não vale o esforço e dedicação. I wonder if you were aware that day was the last straw for me, me pergunto se você percebeu que aquele dia foi a gota d’água.

Billie canta – mostrando o corpo em alguns momentos – e dança, com as amigas, reforçando a sororidade e empoderamento feminino.

Something’s in the air right now
Like I’m losin’ track of time (Time, time)
Like I don’t really care right now
But maybe that’s fine
You weren’t even there that day
I was waitin’ on you (You, you)
I wonder if you were aware that day
Was the last straw for me and I know

I sent you flowers
Did you even care?
You ran the shower
And left them by the stairs
Ooh-ooh-ooh, a-a-a-ayy

Thought you had your shit together, but damn, I was wrong (Wrong)
You ain’t nothin’ but a lost cause (Cause, cause)
And this ain’t nothin’ like it once was (Was, was)
I know you think you’rе such an outlaw
But you got no job (Job)
You ain’t nothin’ but a lost cause (Cause)
And this ain’t nothin’ like it oncе was (Was)
I know you think you’re such an outlaw
But you got no job

I used to think you were shy (Shy)
But maybe you just had nothing on your mind
Maybe you were thinkin’ ‘bout yourself all the time
I used to wish you were mine (Mine)
But that was way before I realized
Someone like you would always be so easy to find
(So) So easy (So, so)
Ea-, mm, mm

Gave me no flowers
Wish I didn’t care
You’d been gone for hours
Could be anywhere
I, I, I

Thought you would’ve grown eventually, but you proved me wrong (Wrong)
You ain’t nothing but a lost cause (Cause)
And this ain’t nothing like it once was (Was)
I know you think you’re such an outlaw (Yeah)
But you got no job (No job)
You ain’t nothing but a lost cause (Cause)
And this ain’t nothing like it once was (Was)
I know you think you’re such an outlaw (Think you’re such an outlaw)
But you got no job

(What did I tell you?)
(Don’t get complacent)
(It’s time to face it now, na-na, na-na, na-na)
