“B*tch, I’m stylish
Chorus of Armani White’s Billie Eilish single
Glock tucked, big t-shirt, Billie Eilish
Watch on my wrist, but I want that in diamonds”
How to execute the Billie Eilish transition:
Step 1: The setting does not matter, as long as you have oversized clothes on, minimal or no makeup, and have that “tired-black undereye” look that Billie Eilish has a lot of the time
Step 2: Time for the transition… Either you roll out of your baggy clothes on the floor or on the bed, what’s important is that you do a transition move where you show you are going to change
Step 3: Now for the reveal… For the finale, reveal your glammed-up transition by showing yourself once the beat has dropped on the same second when Armani raps “Billie Eilish!”
Be fun, be daring, and be creative! The key is to set your video apart and show as much confidence as you can when you put out the most beautiful, glammed-up, or cool version of yourself. Whether it is full face makeup, costumes, character, your fit body, or just an incredible glam scenery, anything goes!

Who is Armani White and why should you follow the rapper’s trends?
The song has more to it than just being a cool viral transition piece. As a matter of fact, the song has a lot of controversy behind how it became a top hit or went viral in the first place. First and foremost, Billie Eilish, one of the most renowned Gen Z singers and songwriters with the best top chart hits of this era, is also famous for having some of the craziest fans. To put it into perspective her fans love her so much that they were able to create so much exposure to another artist (Armani White) that blew up his following on TikTok and jumpstarted his career just for dedicating a rap song to her. Insane right?!
25 years old Philly artist, Armani White, published a sample version of the song without having clearance for using some of the track’s beats to his TikTok followers, as it featured similarities from a song of 20 years ago. Instead of patiently waiting, the brave artist kept on posting the song and drawing thousands of users’ attention to it until Billie Eilish’s fans got wind of it and blew it out of the park. Eventually, the song was cleared to release but what made the move so much more incredible is that Def Jam afterward signed White as one of their artists.
A song far more than just a passing trend, it illustrates the power of social exposure and the importance of artists using tools to draw engagement to their music in this modern era. An important factor that most traditional artists neglect as they reject conforming to contemporary channels of marketing.
White says that the song is mostly about how Billie Eilish dresses and the emotional impact people have when hearing her sing. Comparing himself to Billie Eilish, Armani considers his music to sound similar to Billie Eilish’s. Of course with a hip-hop twist, faster beats, and without the melodramatic lyrics, but rather in a manner how he tries to make his audience feel the same way that Eilish’s song takes you away from the real world and captivates you to be blocked in the moment and take the music to heart.
Having over 80 million views on TikTok, Armani’s Billie Eilish song is only the beginning of his impact on the music industry. A definite force to be reckoned with and a trendsetter to watch out for, we highly recommend getting to know the artist and using his music in any of your upcoming TikTok content.
