Background[]
She first performed the song during an Instagram livestream on August 21, 2017. A snippet of the studio version was posted in October 2017[3].
On December 6, 2017, Eilish revealed the name and spoke about the song in an interview:[1]
"It’s called “Limbo” – I’ve never performed that song before, ever. We wrote it a bit ago with this guy, Emmit Fenn, who’s actually a really cool artist. The reason I found out about him was actually because when “ocean eyes” first came out and it got on the radio, it got on KCRW with Jason Kramer, and an Emmit Fenn song played after mine. Right away I heard it and was like, “What is this?!” So then we worked with him, and wrote two songs that are actually two of my favorite songs.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I'm not crying on the phone when you call
What's the use in begging you to stay?
I'm not trying to save us anymore
Cut me loose, 'cause you're too far away
[Chorus]
To make me feel better, make it alright
To give me your sweater, hold my hand tight
Seven days in limbo, push me out the window
Nothing in common, nothing to lose
Nothing but problems between me and you
With your arms akimbo, seven days in limbo
Seven days
[Verse 2]
I'll give all my weapons to you
We've said it all, no more bones to break
I'm done thinking that we might just spark enough
We're broken glass waiting to be washed away
[Chorus]
Can't make me feel better, make it alright
Give me your sweater, hold my hand tight
Seven days in limbo, push me out the window
Nothing in common, nothing to lose
Nothing but problems between me and you
With your arms akimbo, seven days in limbo
Seven days
[Bridge]
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, leave limbo
[Chorus]
Can't make me feel better, make it alright
Can't give me your sweater, hold my hand tight
Seven days in limbo, just push me out the window
Nothing in common, nothing to lose
Nothing but problems between me and you
With your arms akimbo, seven days in limbo
Seven days
