Too many red flags? Jesse Rutherford’s “POV” lyrics seem to point into Billie Eilish’s direction. Many fans believe that his latest song is about his relationship with the “What Was I Made For” singer.

The “bad guy” singer and the “Sweater Weather” musician were seen out on a date at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in October 2020. They were seen holding hands, per TMZ. Another source told Hollywood Life that the two have been friends for a while and respect each other. 

During her annual Vanity Fair interview, she was asked once again if she was dating someone. She appeared really jubilant for the segment, “It’s really cool and I’m really excited and I’m really happy about it. I managed to get .. my life to a point where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f–king f–ker alive, but pulled his ass! Are you kidding me? Can we just [get a] round of applause for me?” After the crew clapped for her, she said, “Thank you, Jesse Rutherford, everyone. I pulled his ass. All me. I did that shit. I locked that motherf–ker down.”

After seven months of dating, the two broke up. On May 17, 2023, Billie’s rep told Page Six, “We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends.” Even days before Jesse released the song, Billie confirmed that the two are on very good terms.

In an Instagram Q&A on August 13, 2023, one person wrote in the text box, simply, “Jesse???”. “Very very good friends only,” Billie wrote “My homie forever.” She also confirmed her single status in another question.

So what does Jesse Rutherford’s new song mean? Read more to find out.
