Their friendship dates back to 2019 when Keys covered Eilish’s hit “Ocean Eyes.” The duo even performed a duet on The Late Late Show With James Corden. Keys recently revealed the backstory of their bond, explaining how Genesis repeatedly asked to send Eilish a video message expressing his admiration for her music. Finally, he got his chance, introducing himself as Alicia Keys’ son and sharing his love for Eilish’s music.

“Someone wanted me to send you this message. I hope it makes you smile. How are you, beautiful? Big love!” A few days later, Billie Eilish replied with a video message, recorded especially for Genesis, alongside her brother Finneas.

“Genesis, it’s Billie. I’m ready to be your friend any day. I would like to be your friend. Alicia is my friend, I love her. I love you. Let’s hang out and be friends.” As Eilish and Genesis’ friendship continues to grow, fans eagerly await another iconic collaboration between Eilish and Keys in the future!
