This work sharply portrays the deep shadows cast by the light of stardom—its fear and loneliness.

Created by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, the song was released in July 2021 and is included on the acclaimed album Happier Than Ever.

Sung over a dark, tense soundscape, it’s a cry from a heart pursued by a stalker and stripped of privacy.

A signature track from the album that topped the U.S.

charts, it’s perfect for nights when you want to touch not only the beautiful side of love, but also the obsession and madness that lurk beneath.

Why not immerse yourself in its world alone and take it all in?

AnimalsMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – Animals

A powerful track by Maroon 5, one of America’s leading bands, that likens obsessive love to animalistic instincts.

Released as a single from their August 2014 album “V,” the song reached No.

3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed in the Top 10 for 14 weeks, achieving major success.

Like a predator closing in on its prey, the protagonist’s deranged devotion as he relentlessly chases his target is delivered through Adam Levine’s seductive falsetto.

It was also featured in a Kia commercial, and its music video—reminiscent of the film American Psycho—sparked significant controversy for its extreme content.

A thrilling track that sends shivers with the gap between its pop sound and its warped expression of love.

Tyler Farr – Redneck Crazy (Official Video)

Tyler Farr is a country singer from the United States.

The title track of his album Redneck Crazy drew a great deal of attention, not least because it was his debut and showcased his powerful, opera-trained voice.

His sadness turns into anger, leading him to engage in stalker-like behavior—causing a scene outside his ex’s house—which feels both deeply human and terrifying.

Released in 2013, the song stirred controversy for its extremity, yet debuted at No.

2 on the country charts.

If you’re curious to glimpse the not-so-sweet side of romance, this might be worth a listen.

The protagonist’s actions are far from praiseworthy, but some listeners may still find themselves empathizing with his intense emotions.

Tyler The Creator – She (feat. Frank Ocean)

This song, with Frank Ocean’s luscious vocals and a sticky, lingering track, is the work of the American maverick Tyler, the Creator, also known as the leader of the hip-hop collective Odd Future.

Despite its beautiful R&B-tinged sound, the story it tells is one of warped affection: a man peering through the window into his beloved’s room, creeping toward her as she sleeps.

Some listeners may feel a chill down their spine at the raw obsession and madness narrated over the sweet melody.

Released in May 2011 on the acclaimed album Goblin, this track vividly depicts a perverse form of love and has achieved the equivalent of 4 million units in sales in the United States.

Everybody’s StalkingBadly Drawn Boy

Badly Drawn Boy – Everybody’s Stalking

Contrary to its gentle acoustic sound, this song by England’s Badly Drawn Boy presents an unsettling perspective, as if everyone were watching someone else.

The masterpiece that includes it, The Hour of Bewilderbeast, was released in June 2000 and won that year’s Mercury Prize—a remarkably strong debut.

The calm vocals and chamber-pop–style, beautiful arrangements seem to highlight the quiet madness of obsession.
