"Bills" is the debut single by American rapper LunchMoney Lewis. The song was released on February 5, 2015, by Kemosabe Records. [2] 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. [3]
Lewis discussed the song's conception: "Ricky 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." [4]
Described as a novelty song, "Bills" features "elements of hip-hop and soul, with a ragtag, jazz sound". [1] The song has a tempo of 126 beats per minute, and is in the key of F major.
A music video to accompany the release of "Bills" was first released onto YouTube on February 20, 2015. The video is directed by Emil Nava. [5]
