‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’ Flock to ‘Beat Saber’ With Billie Eilish’s New Shock Drop

You’re staring down an infinite waterfall, sabers in hand, dropping into the beat and fighting back tears as you slash your way through a rush of feelings and blocks: It’s time for some more Billie Eilish in Beat Saber. Eilish’s iconic “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” has become a social media fixture since its release in the summer of 2024, topping the Billboard Global 200 and earning the 23-year-old singer nominations for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Solo Pop Performance at the 2025 Grammys. Now it’s your turn to dive in: It’s available now as Beat Saber’s newest Shock Drop.

Billie Eilish’s music pack instantly stood out on Beat Saber when it was released in 2021, expanding the game’s library with trance-like, captivating levels like “You Should See Me in a Crown,” “Bury a Friend,” and “Happier than Ever.” She is as unapologetically herself inside mixed reality as she is anywhere else—Eilish has achieved global superstar status and become a Gen-Z icon with a dangerous, off-kilter sound and style that rejects pop conventions without abandoning them entirely. It’s definitely not bubblegum, maybe something more like black licorice.

“BIRDS OF A FEATHER” doesn’t sound like some of Eilish’s other songs at first—it’s a euphoric, upbeat love song, still dreamlike but without that Halloween edge that can make a song like “Bad Guy” so uncomfortably entrancing. But it’s still Billie Eilish, and if you listen closely to the lyrics, you’ll notice they’re a lot more unsettling than most love songs.

“BIRDS OF A FEATHER” follows Lady Gaga’s "Abracadabra, "Eminem’s “Houdini,” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” in a busy season for Beat Saber’s Shock Drops: single-song releases that let the team explore trending songs outside of the major music packs. It’s playable in multiplayer and features Arc and Chain notes. You can grab it today for $1.99 USD in Beat Saber’s Shock Drop section—and remember to keep an eye here to see what’s dropping next.
