"Bills"
Song

"Bills" is the debut single by American rapper LunchMoney Lewis. The song was released on February 5, 2015 through Kemosabe Records.[1] The song topped the charts in Australia and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Belgium (Flanders), New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The extended play was released in April.[2]

Background and composition

Lewis discussed the song's conception, "Ricky (Reed) played the beat and that just started the idea. I sang 'I got bills' and he just popped up off his chair. It was like a chain reaction. Ricky doesn't really get excited about much. I don't either because we write so much, so it's hard to gauge but there was a good feeling. We were writing about things people can relate to, which is fun. It's all truthful."[3]

Described as a novelty song, "Bills" features "elements of hip-hop and soul, with a ragtag, jazz sound".[4]

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Bills" was first released onto YouTube on February 20, 2015.[5]
