Billie Eilish is a musician of great mystery so when she opens up about her personal life, fans go wild.

The global superstar has frequently spoken out about the disparities when it comes to how men and women are treated by society, particularly when they are big names in the public eye.

Eilish is also not afraid to touch on typically taboo topics, particularly within her music.

During a secret set at Coachella recently, the 22-year-old gave fans a sneak preview of a few songs from her upcoming album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

One track, called 'Lunch', caused quite the stir for its sexual nature.

The lyrics read: “I could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue / Tastes like she might be the one / And I can never get enough I could buy her so much stuff / It’s a craving, not a crush.”

Speaking to the Rolling Stone, the hitmaker said: "That song was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to be real.

"I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after."

She continued: "I’ve been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand - until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina. I was never planning on talking about my sexuality ever, in a million years. It’s really frustrating to me that it came up."

Speaking to Variety last year, Eilish revealed: "I've never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people. I'm attracted to them as people. I'm attracted to them for real."

The star went on to say that she's 'physically attracted to women', but that she's also 'so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence'.

Many fans were shocked by the news at the time, something that left Eilish confused.

"I kind of thought, wasn't it obvious? I didn't realize people didn't know," she said at Variety's hitmakers a few days after she 'came out'.

Speaking of reports of her 'coming out', the singer added: "I just don't really believe in it.

"I'm just like, why can't we just exist? I've been doing this for a long time, and I just didn't talk about it."

Elsewhere in the Rolling Stone interview, Eilish explained how 'self-pleasure' is an 'enormous' part of her life and 'a huge, huge help' to her as someone with 'extreme body issues and dysmorphia'.

She explained when she practices the art of self love - AKA masturbation - she has a preference for where she does it.
