Could these two Billie Eilish hits be inspired by Diamond White?
Diamond White, a rising star with roots in the Bold and the Beautiful world, has set the internet ablaze with a bold and unexpected claim about Grammy-winning artist Billie Eilish. The actress and singer recently posted two TikTok videos that had fans scrambling to connect the dots. In them, she speculates that Billie Eilish’s massive hits might not be entirely original — with similarities to two of Diamond’s own songs that date back years. This is a twist no one saw coming!
The Case of the “Coincidental” Sound?
White, who became known to daytime fans for her role as Paris on B&B, has since pursued a career in music. In the TikTok video that sparked the buzz, Diamond raised eyebrows by suggesting that Billie’s hits “Ocean Eyes” and “I Love You” might sound eerily similar to her own tracks. Specifically, Diamond compared “I Love You” to her song Right With Me and “Ocean Eyes” to Firefighter. While her tone seemed to lean on the speculative side, she wasn’t afraid to ask for a second opinion from fellow music lovers and experts.
In the second video, Diamond clarified her stance in response to a viewer questioning the timing of the songs, particularly the release dates. With receipts in hand, White claimed that she had recorded Firefighter long before “Ocean Eyes” was released. She even posted footage of herself performing the track live at a charity event when she was just 13 years old. “That was 11 years ago,” White remarked, adding that she’s not trying to start any drama but simply wanted to make her point clear.
What Does This Mean?
Fans of Billie Eilish, of course, were quick to point out that “Ocean Eyes” came out in 2015, which means if Diamond’s song was made back in 2012, there could very well be a timeline overlap. While White doesn’t accuse Billie of maliciously copying her, the whole situation raises questions about how similar these tracks really are. Is this just a coincidence, or is there more to this story than meets the eye?
Diamond made it clear that she’s not “here to start a war” but that she just wanted to bring the conversation into the public eye. Whether or not this is the beginning of a musical feud remains to be seen, but for now, it’s the latest twist in an ongoing conversation about inspiration, influence, and intellectual property in the music industry.
