The duo’s in-house performance was both sonically ecstatic and emotionally therapeutic for the virtual audience. At the commencement of the video, Eilish said:

She did a rendition of her newest single, “My Future,” which she also recently performed at the Democratic National Convention. Eilish then stopped to reflect on the myriad of challenges in the year so far. 

“Quarantine’s been weird. I know you all feel the same. It’s been weird. We don’t know how long it’s gonna go. There’s barely anything that feels like there’s any hope in, but I think the future is something to be super hopeful in — the unknown and what is to come. We’ll be OK one day, maybe not right now. I think that’s what’s been making me hold on.”
