This track explores themes of love and anger.

This song was released on the 17th of May 2024, with the help of composer FINNEAS O'CONNELL. ‘FINNEAS O'CONNEL’ is an American musician and actor, also being Billie’s older (by four years) brother. As mentioned in some interviews with Billie, she brought up that her brother helped her with some of the songs and lyrics. An example is in ‘idontwannabeyouanymore’, one of Billie’s earlier releases, the bar (and song title) ‘I don’t wanna be you, Anymore’ was brought to life by her brother thinking it up.

‘THE GREATEST’ is presumed to be a ‘story’ about love/sex and anger/sadness, more specifically Billie working hard for someone/doing something for someone and not even appreciating her affection.
The lines about ‘Man, am I the greatest?’ could be assumed to possibly be a statement the lover she is giving protection and affection to saying that she [Billie] is ‘the greatest’ as a compliment. But after the fight/whatever happened in this song Billie starts to doubt and finds herself questioning her ‘greatness’. Its just a guess though, there’s no concrete evidence or anything that I have found.
