[Verse 1]
Billy had dreams of a sailor or an astronaut
Nobody told 'em the world was mean
Billy grew up in a trailer and nobody thought
He could amount to anything
But I knew he would because he has a heart of gold
Woah, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Ayy, woah, well look who's laughing now
'Cause Billy bought a brand new house
To all the people that were mean
He just channeled your energy
And ayy, woah, well look who's laughing now
Yeah, he said, "Thank you for your doubts"
To all the people that believed
He just channeled your energy

[Verse 2]
Billy woke up in a Tesla at twenty-three
He didn't think he earned the ride
Then Billy got down under pressure at twenty-four
He couldn't go to bed at night
'Cause he saw the world come crashin' down the way it does
Woah, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Ayy, woah, well look who's laughing now
'Cause Billy bought a brand new house
To all the people that were mean
He just channeled your energy
And ayy, woah, well look who's laughing now
Yeah, he said, "Thank you for your doubts"
To all the people that believed
He just channeled your energy

[Outro]
Now Billy is free
It's Billy, oh, oh, oh
It's Billy, it's Billy, it's Billy
Oh, oh, alright, woo

Lauv

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
