It was released on August 11th, 2017.
In my own interpretation...I think it has to deal with her being the abusive one, She wants to keep him but pushes him away constantly once he gets too close. In this line she says, "I'll build a wall give you a ball and chain. It's not like me to be so mean you're all I wanted, just let me hold you like a hostage" She loves him but sometimes she becomes overly aggressive with what she does, he loves her and chooses to stay through the anger and fighting, but it only hurts him at the end and makes him the hostage to her love.She goes on later to express everything about gold. Gold finger tips, gold leaf across your lips, gold chain, and gold shirt he let her wear home. Then she says "Gold's fake and real love hurts." She never had someone who actually loved her, she has a past of bad relationships so she treats this one like her last ones. Closed, Hurt, Depressed, and on Edge. Maybe she feels like she even has to "fight" him when things are going bad this could be the abusive side in her.
I think this song is about Obsession and loneliness. Obsession being "Just let me hold--You.. like a hostage" Also "I wanna steal your soul and hide you in my treasure chest" meaning she will do anything in her power to keep him hers
I think this refers to her or someone elses obbsession with someone. "its not like me to be so mean" this persons obbsesion could have been taken so far that they are so obsesed they will be so mean just to be with that person. they could also be toxic. this song just refers to being a hostage in obsesive toxic love.
i think that the way she describes wanting to hold them hostage is so that she can have them all to her self and in doing so they become trapped and the usage of gold shows the rarity and how valuable their touch means too her.
In "Hostage", the narrator (Billie) does nothing but express her immense love for her lover. According to her, her sole aim in life is to keep him hostage. Here, she uses it as a metaphor to describe how much she wants to keep her lover to herself. The intense love the narrator displays for her partner has traces of obsession. Her obsessive desire to have total possession of her partner fits perfectly into obsessive love and psychopathy.
i think it is something related to sleep demons or demon visitations (succubus and inccubus) during sleep paralysis episodes. when i first heard of this song i felt like she's really narating what sleep demons are and what they want. the line "just let me hold you like a hostage" got me like freak for a moment because that's how it feels when you're on sleep paralysis, you will feel very helpless. i really love biliie

Billie EilishBillie Eilish as an abusive girlfriendBillie Eilish is an American singer who appears as the villainess of her music video, Hostage (released July 11, 2018). The video opens with Billie singing to presumably a boyfriend in a soothing tone, and they appear as though they are dancing together at first. However, something begins to change. She becomes more forceful, yanking the man around and pushing him from one side of the room to the other, going from affectionate and loving one moment to scornful and apathetic the next, expressing her desire to keep him as her hostage.
Today, Darkroom/Interscope Records artist Billie Eilish debuted a new music video for her haunting track "hostage," taken from her debut EP "dont smile at me." The video is available exclusively on Apple Music. 041b061a72
