To celebrate 1 billion YouTube views on her hit song Bad Guy, Billie Eilish has launched an infinite music video: Infinite Bad Guy.
Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy definitely didn’t do badly when it came to global and cultural success, and YouTube, in conjunction with Google Creative Lab, has created an infinite music video for the track and all its alternate versions.
In celebration of hitting the 1 billion view milestone, Google Creative Lab has collected all of the tens of thousands of YouTube covers of the hit song and connected them all into one video, named Infinite Bad Guy.
The website begins by playing Eilish’s original music video before viewers are then given the ability to jump into one of two other videos from where the last left off.
Infinite Bad Guy uses machine learning to know where you are in the song and plays the videos in sync to make each transition as smooth as possible.

Google label the video ‘infinite’ because, based on their calculation, it would take you 1.46 x 10¹⁰⁰ years to view every possible version of the song.
