Many fans were shocked when Billie Eilish recently dropped a song out of nowhere and it's now available for streaming on major music platforms online. However, listeners wanted more as the track was only a minute long.
According to Uproxx, the musician released the track "Hotline (Edit)," which is a cover of Drake's hit song "Hotline Bling."
For fans who have been supporting the pop star for years, the recent release isn't completely random as she previously performed it numerous times in 2017 and 2018.
She also paired the track with "Party Favor" for an exclusive vinyl release during 2018's Record Store Day.
"Hotline (Edit)" was first released on SoundCloud a few years ago, but many were confused as her recent release only contained the second half of the song she uploaded on the platform.
As of this writing, Billie Eilish has yet to reveal why she decided to release the track out of nowhere.
Billie Eilish Fans Confused
After the song became available on streaming platforms, fans immediately took to Twitter to react to the recent release.
"Billie Eilish uploaded the hotline bling cover after like 6 years and on top of that it's only a part," one fan wrote.
"Bro could she have been a bit louder i couldnt even hear the hook," another one wrote, pointing out her quiet voice throughout the track.
"this sounds NOTHING like hotline bling," one wrote in confusion, while another one commented, "We have to recognize that she's doing this mostly for a potencial tiktok trend, we want the long version."
Billie Eilish Updates
The recent song release comes after Billie Eilish attended this year's Met Gala where she seemingly broke a strict rule imposed by the event's organizers.
In early reports, the musician posed for a mirror selfie inside the bathroom of the iconic Metropolitan Museum where the biggest night in fashion takes place annually.
In the snap, the "Happier Than Ever" hitmaker posed alongside Hale Bailey, Elle Fanning, and Maya Hawke.
The reason why Eilish seemingly broke the rule is that the Met Gala imposed a phone ban to lessen their usage of social media while the event is happening.
"The use of phones for photography and social media will not be permitted inside the gala," the rule states. (via Live Mint)
