Billie Eilish Lends ‘When the Party’s Over’ to Harris-Walz Campaign Ad
A day after endorsing Kamala Harris, Billie Eilish has allowed the Harris-Walz campaign to use her song “When the Party’s Over” in a nationwide ad supporting reproduction rights.
The “Monster” ad, which began airing Wednesday in battleground states, features a Kentucky woman named Hadley Duvall, who, at the age of 12, became pregnant after she was raped by her stepfather.

“I didn’t know what to do. I was a child. I didn’t know what it meant to be pregnant, at all,” Duvall says in the ad. “But I had options. Because Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade, girls and women all over the country have lost the right to choose, even for rape or incest. Donald Trump did this. He took away our freedom.”
The campaign ad premiered Wednesday on Good Morning America and will also feature during the WNBA playoffs and the season premiere of Survivor, Deadline reported. The ad also arrives just one day after Eilish and brother Finneas announced their support of Harris, with “reproductive freedom” one of the reasons they were aligning with the vice president.
“We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet, and our democracy,” Eilish said in the video that coincided with National Voter Registration Day. “Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.”
Finneas added, “We can’t let extremists control our lives, our freedoms, and our future. The only way to stop them and the dangerous Project 2025 agenda is to vote and elect Kamala Harris.”
Eilish has been vocally against Donald Trump’s campaign and presidency since she was legally able to vote. In 2020, at age 18, Eilish was the youngest musician to perform at the Democratic National Convention, where she spoke out adamantly against the danger she believed Trump posed to the nation.
Harris previously received permission from Beyonce to use that singer’s “Freedom” as her unofficial campaign song.
