---------Story behind the song--------- Lyrically 'ilomilo' is a mid-tempo hit about the fear of separation. In it, Billie sings startlingly frank lines like: "I don't wanna be lonely" and "I can't lose another life". She also appears to reference a failed relationship by adding: "I just wanted to protect you // But now I'll never get to". Discussing the song on Hot Ones, Billie revealed that it's called ilomilo after the computer game of the same name pronounced: "ee-low-mee-low". Billie said: "I used to play ilomilo a lot. I loved ilomilo, which was like my favorite game in the world. It's this game where it's these two little creatures – one is named ilo and the other's named milo. It's this sort of anti-gravity world where there are all these little blocks and they start apart from each other. The idea is you just get to each other and when they get to each other they just hug, there's no prize." Billie then added: "So the whole idea of the game is just losing the person you love and then finding them again." In other words, the meaning of 'ilomilo' the song is literally the concept of 'ilomilo' the game and it's just two names put together. The track is so clever too because if you listen to it, you can hear that the sound effects in 'ilomilo' the game have really inspired the production
