Eilish has a lot to celebrate recently, with her er mega-hit song “bad guy” finally dethroning Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

Eilish’s song remained at the No. 2 spot for nine weeks, the most amount of time for any song prior to it hitting No. 1. 

Lil Nas X’s track, featuring Billie Ray Cyrus, was Billboard’s longest-leading Hot 100 song of all time, spending 19 weeks at the top spot. 

Recently, Eilish dropped a verticle video for the song that shows the behind-the-scenes of how the original was made. 

In the weirdly iconic original, she begins by busting through a yellow wall and handing your Invisalign to a random dude. You can check out the original video for “bad guy” below. 

In the new vertical video, we get some behind-the-scenes insight on that music video. It shows a lighter side of the artist whose videos usually have huge themes and artistic vision behind them. Check out the new video for “bad guy” below.
