Billie Eilish is talking about sex (and how she'll never do so again).
The "Ocean Eyes" singer is Vogue magazine's November cover star and she's opening up about her sexuality after sparking backlash earlier this year for her openness surrounding sex.
"I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever," Eilish told Vogue in the story published Tuesday. "And I hope that they never will again. And I'm never talking about my sexuality ever again. And I'm never talking about who I'm dating ever again."
In April, Eilish courted controversy when she got candid in a Rolling Stone story with her comments about sex.
Billie Eilish says her bluntness aboutsex makes people uncomfortable. She's right.

"I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can," she told the outlet. "That's literally my favorite topic. My experience as a woman has been that it's seen in such a weird way. People are so uncomfortable talking about it, and weirded out when women are comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it."
Eilish also told Rolling Stone that "self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life," saying it helps her connect with herself. At the time, she also talked about embracing her sexuality, including her attraction to women.
In the new Vogue interview, Eilish, 22, said she tends to "underestimate that things I say will be blown up into the biggest news of the whole world," telling the fashion magazine that, "we're all babies. We're all little kids growing up and learning ourselves."
One topic Eilish isn't staying silent on? The 2024 presidential election will feature former President Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris. Eilish, who endorsed Harris last month on National Voter Registration Day in an Instagram video alongside her older brother Finneas, told Vogue she was a "really big fan of human rights. Really big fan of women's rights and women's reproductive rights and social justice and gun laws.”
Eilish, who is among other A-listers like Taylor Swift supporting the vice president, also told Vogue why she is supporting Harris in the upcoming election on Nov. 5.
"A lot of my fans are going to be able to vote for the first time. So I'm like, 'Do you like freedom?'" Eilish said. "First female president? Would be really amazing. I would love to feel safe as a woman in my country."
