Ever felt like the only sober person at a frat party? Billie Eilish sure has. In this tune, she's the designated driver in a world of hot messes, dodging secondhand smoke and canned Coke while her friends spiral into oblivion. They bring nothing to the table—except ashtrays—and keep making the same mistakes, blaming everything but themselves. Billie's not buying it; she doesn't need a "Xanny" (slang for Xanax) to feel better or fit in. Her message? Stay clear-headed and steer away from toxic vibes, even if everyone else is too intoxicated to care.

Lyrics
What is it about them?
I must be missing something
They just keep doin' nothing
Too intoxicated to be scared
Better off without them
They're nothing but unstable
Bring ashtrays to the table
And that's about the only thing they share
I'm in their secondhand smoke
Still just drinking canned Coke
I don't need a Xanny to feel better
On designated drives home
Only one who's not stoned
Don't give me a Xanny, now or ever
(Can you check your Uber rating? Oh my God)
Wakin' up at sundown
They're late to every party
Nobody's ever sorry
Too inebriated now to dance
Morning as they comedown (comedown)
Their pretty heads are hurting (hurting)
They're awfully bad at learning (learning)
Make the same mistakes, blame circumstance
I'm in their secondhand smoke
Still just drinking canned Coke
I don't need a Xanny to feel better
On designated drives home
Only one who's not stoned
Don't give me a Xanny, now or ever
Please don't try to kiss me on the sidewalk
On your cigarette break
I can't afford to love someone
Who isn't dyin' by mistake in Silver Lake
What is it about them?
I must be missing something
They just keep doin' nothing
Too intoxicated to be scared
Hm, hm
Hm, hm
Hm, mm
Comedown, hurting
Learning
