Earlier this week, the 21-year-old singer revealed that she “grieves” the younger girl she was before she became famous. 

Speaking of releasing her first music aged 13, the “Happier Than Ever” singer said she “strives to be a kid again”.

In the cover interview with Vogue, Eilish invited a group of young activists to speak about many topics, including combating the climate crisis.

“In my head, nobody knows who I am. Nobody knows what I look like,” said Eilish, while discussing the pressures she experienced.

“I was 13 when I put stuff out for the first time,” she explained. “I look back at who I was, when fewer eyes were on me. I grieve that. I strive to be that kid again.”
