Billie Eilish is one of music's best young talents—last year's dont smile at me EP put her on the map, and her moves since have only amplified the hype. Collabs with Khalid, Vince Staples, and more have proved her abilities as a musical teammate, and today Billie proves she's just as skilled a partner on the dancefloor.

"Hostage" is one of the EP's more subdued, muted tracks. For the just-released video, Eilish called upon director Henry Scholfield, Stromae, and Luc Junior Tam to create a room equal parts intimate and suffocating. Together, they captured "the feeling of trying to be so close to someone that you can end up suffocating them and destroying the very thing that you wanted so much," Billie said in a statement. "I think it is something everyone can relate to. Loving someone so much that it hurts."
