A haunting anthem of regret, silence, and unspoken truths takes the world by storm.
May 2025 – Detroit, MI / Los Angeles, CA
In what fans are calling a generation-defining collaboration, Eminem and Billie Eilish have released the official music video for their highly anticipated single, “Things We Never Said.” The track dropped at midnight alongside a cinematic visual that has already surpassed 60 million views in under 24 hours.
🔥 A Rare Blend of Two Icons
The song is a stark, minimalist ballad that builds into a thunderous finale. Eilish delivers ethereal, emotionally raw verses—sung in a near whisper—while Eminem unloads a blistering, confessional verse reflecting on loss, guilt, and missed chances:
“I never said I loved you back, thought I had more time / Now your ghost is sleepin’ in the corners of my mind…”
This is the first time the two Grammy-winning artists have worked together—and the internet is exploding.

🎬 A Cinematic Music Video Full of Symbolism
Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, the video shows a crumbling house on a foggy hill—symbolizing the mind. Eilish wanders its empty halls in solitude while Eminem delivers his verse in a burned-out room filled with ash and faded photographs. At one point, a child version of Em watches from the shadows—a reflection of his past self and the innocence lost.
Billie, dressed in all black with her signature green-streaked hair now muted to silver, sings by candlelight. Each verse seems to grow colder, until the final line is delivered in total silence.
“Sometimes the loudest things we say are the things we never do.”
