Song
"Therefore I Am" is about Billie Eilish's disinterest in others' opinions of her and her refusal to be defined by what others say about her. The lyrics reflect a sense of self-confidence and assertiveness in response to someone who is trying to bring her down by talking about her behind her back. The line "I think therefore I am" alludes to the philosophical concept of Descartes' "Cogito, ergo sum" meaning "I think, therefore I am" and represents Billie's sense of self-awareness and independent thinking.
