Must-watch: Billie Eilish's short film 'Not My Responsibility'.

Billie Eilish has today shared a short film, 'Not My Responsibility', which she originally created to be an anti-body shaming video interlude on her 2020 headline tour and was first seen during the Where Do We Go? World Tour earlier this year.

In the short film, Eilish challenges:

"would you like me to be smaller?
weaker?
softer?
taller?
would you like me to be quiet?
do my shoulders provoke you?
does my chest?
am I my stomach?
my hips?
the body I was born with
is it not what you wanted?
if I wear what is comfortable
I am not a woman
if I shed the layers
I’m a slut
though you’ve never seen my body
you still judge it
and judge me for it
why?
we make assumptions about people
based on their size
we decide who they are
we decide what they’re worth
if I wear more
if I wear less
who decides what that makes me?
what that means?
is my value based only on your perception?
or is your opinion of me
not my responsibility"
