Background
When asked nigh how the song came about in an interview withTeen Vogue'south Ariana Marsh, Billie said:
"Aside from singing, I'm also a dancer. I've been dancing since I was eight. Last year, one of my teachers asked if I would either write a vocal or have my brother write a song to choreograph a dance to. I was like, 'yeah, that's such a absurd affair to do!' Then, my blood brother came to me with 'Ocs. We kind of just decided that that was the song we were going to apply for the trip the light fantastic. We put information technology on SoundCloud with a free download link adjacent to it so my dance instructor could access it. We had no intentions for information technology, really. Simply basically overnight a ton of people started hearing information technology and sharing information technology. Hillydilly, a music discovery website, establish it and posted it and information technology just got bigger and bigger. Information technology was really surreal. So, Danny Ruckasin, who is now my manager, reached out to my brother and was similar, 'dude, this is going to get huge and I think you're going to demand assist along the way. I want to aid y'all guys.' We were like, 'that'south swag!'"
Disquisitional Reception
Chris DeVille ofStereogum said "the song is pure pop, a ballad well-nigh longing for reconciliation with an ex. I tin can imagine it becoming a major hitting, and director Megan Thompson'due south video volition certainly help. Idolator's Mike Wass labeled it a "dreamy ballad". Mathias Rosenzweig ofVogue stated "On Billie Eilish'south breakthrough track, 'Bounding main Eyes', she compares love to falling off a cliff, surrounded past the warlike intensity of napalm skies. Information technology'southward a profound description for a 14-twelvemonth-old, and information technology's led to an enormous amount of interest in her debut vocal—likewise every bit the vocaliser herself. Similar the championship suggests, her airy falsetto vocals also conjure up thoughts of the ocean washing over the vocal's mellow percussion and minimalist synths. The song'south maturity paired with a few childish ideals—she sings, for example, that dear is 'no off-white'—struck a chord with an audience much older than Eilish and racked up a total of more than than 2,000,000 streams on Spotify."Billboard'south Jason Lipshutz called it "understated and heartbreaking".

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been watching you for some time
Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those sea optics
Your ocean eyes
[Chorus]
No fair
Yous really know how to make me cry
When yous requite me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean optics
Those bounding main optics
[Verse 2]
I've been walking through a world gone blind
Can't stop thinking of your diamond heed
Careful brute made friends with fourth dimension
You left her lone with a diamond listen
And those ocean eyes
[Chorus]
No fair
You lot really know how to make me cry
When you lot give me those ocean eyes
I'one thousand scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your bounding main optics
Those ocean eyes
[Outro]
No off-white
You actually know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean optics
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this loftier
Falling into your body of water optics
Those ocean optics
[Verse 1: Billie Eilish]
I've been watching y'all for some fourth dimension
Tin can't finish staring at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
No off-white
You lot actually know how to make me cry
When you requite me those ocean optics
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this loftier
Falling into your sea optics
Those ocean eyes
[Verse 2: blackbear]
Yeah, yeah-eah-eah

I never would forget you, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Look me in my optics, tell me you ain't a part of me, no fair
[Chorus: Billie Eilish & blackbear]
No off-white (Aye, yeah-eah-eah)
You really know how to brand me cry
When you requite me those ocean eyes
I'm scared (Daughter, I'm scared)
I've never fallen from quite this loftier
Falling into your sea optics

You really know how to make me cry (Know how to make me cry)
When you give me those ocean eyes (Those bounding main eyes)

I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean optics
[Outro: Billie Eilish]
No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean optics
I'g scared
I've never fallen from quite this loftier
Falling into your sea eyes
Those ocean eyes
