Billie Eilishmay be her own worst critic.
During aninterviewwith Apple’sNew Music Dailyon Beats 1, the Grammy winner told hostZane Lowethat she felt she “bombed” her performance at the 2020 Oscars.
“I was sick for all ofthe Oscars, I bombed that performance,” she said. “That s— was trash.”
The “bad guy” singer went on to describe how performing atthe Oscarswas “so scary” because it was a different crowd than what she was used to.
“It was also, like,the Oscarsis not my people,” she said. “I’m not used to that. At least the Grammys wasn’t as scary because it was artists, and it felt like my people.”
She added, “I knew a lot of them already and I’d met them and they knew of me butthe Oscars… I’m like, ‘These are movie stars.'”

But Eilish may want to get more comfortable aroundthe Oscarscrowd now that her latest song release, “No Time to Die” for the James Bond movie of the same name, is already gaining Oscar buzz.
Eilish wrote the haunting track with her longtime collaborator and brother Finneas O’Connell alongside famed composer Hans Zimmer who served as an arranger for the single that wasreleased on Thursday.

Eilish told Lowe she was surprised that Zimmer and the film’s producers wanted to collaborate on the project, stating, “I thought it would just be like, ‘Here’s the song,’ and they take it and then I would have no say,” she said. “But they really wanted to know what I think.”
Describing the ordeal as a “life goal,” “No Time to Die” was released ahead of the 25thBondfilm, Daniel Craig’s last, and makes Eilish the youngest artist to ever work on aBondtheme.
