Interesting facts and trivia about Oxytocin. By Songfacts®.

Can't take it back once it's been set in motion You know I need you for the oxytocin Oxytocin is a feel-good hormone found in mammals, which plays a number of roles: 1) The hormone is released into the bloodstream during labor, which helps with birth and bonding with the baby and milk production. 2) Oxytocin is distributed when parents and children look into each other's eyes or embrace. 3) It is also released during intimate moments such as cuddling or orgasms. For these reasons it is sometimes dubbed the "love hormone." Here, Billie Eilish sings of releasing the hormone during sexual activity.

"Oxytocin" is a track on Happier Than Ever, which Eilish released at age 19. It is the most overtly sexual song she'd released to date; her previous material being more teenage-romance related.

The sex Eilish sings of during this slinky track is clearly of the kinky variety. I wanna do bad things to you I wanna make you yell Eilish told Spotify she was "going through crazy feelings at the time."
