about

On the creation of Get Well Soon, Eilish stated, ‘I wrote Get Well Soon with Gab Strum and Lach Bostock from Mansionair, in the midst of grieving a relationship – you know that part in the grieving process, where you start getting impatient that you’re not better yet? Yeah. That part. I dreamt of telling this person that I was so sick over them, still, after all this time – and I didn’t want them back, but I just wanted them to know that I still felt awful about the whole thing. And that I missed them. Dave Haddad and I produced this one at the end of 2020, and I really love the Japanese Breakfast style vocal synth (that was also something that we’d worked on in the writing room with Gab and Lach). The main synth part is all my voice and I think it turned out so cool. I think there’s something very evocative about this track, particularly the bridge – I wanted it to feel like a dream, and I reckon it really does.'

lyrics

I pull at my skin, play with my hair
Paint my lips in red
Nervous for something that’s already been
That feeling never ends

Sweat through the base, I’m wrecking my face,
Flesh so white I don’t look right
Foot past the gate, a hundred bad dates,
Could we fight I don’t feel -

Tell me the point of looking beautiful
If you’re not here to see it?
Give every year of looking young to you
If you’d agree to take it

I’m so sick without you
I want to get better
I want to get well soon
I’m so sick without you
I want to get better
I want to get well soon

I go to the party, go through the motions
Conversation ends
As soon as I join it, I want to leave and
Forget everything

They know that I’m sick, they can’t ignore it
Lovesick catches, plain attachment
I want to be fun, and I want someone
Not just matches, I want -

Eventually friends will leave me be
To live in my head just you and me
I reach for the vision
I just want to tell him

I'm so sick without you
I want to get well soon
