Billie Eilish has revealed that “Birds of a Feather” was almost cut from the final tracklist. The Grammy-winning singer explained that everything from the lyrics to the production was changed multiple times during the recording sessions, and she wasn’t happy with the sound. “We changed so many things—lyrics, production—and never got it to sound right,” she said in a recent interview. “So we took a moment and decided to come back to how it originally was.”
