The 17-year-old singer-songwriter was a 3-year-old when The Office premiered, yet Dunder-Mifflin has become "like therapy" for her -- she even uses The Office theme as her opening music on tour. “When I wake up, I put on The Office. If I’m making a burrito, I turn on The Office," says Eilish, who pays homage to the show on her new album. “Every time I finish it, I start it immediately right after and start from the beginning again. I have, like, episodes memorized and stuff. It’s my therapy, bro. It’s like my little escape."

The Office team reacts to Billie Eilish's sampling: Cast members had to give their permission

Eilish sampled the "Threat Level Midnight" episode for her "my strange addiction" song because the hit NBC comedy was her strange addiction. B.J. Novak recalls that the episode was a final wish for the departing Steve Carell. “They had to get approval of all the cast that was on it,” including Carell, Novak tells Rolling Stone. “I was fine with it regardless,” Novak adds, “but I was like ‘Wow, bonus: This is a banger.'” Meanwhile, The Office song producer Eve Nelson, who composed the music for the episode, was shocked that Eilish was inspired by her work. “Can’t say enough about that girl,” says Nelson. “She is, to me, one of the finest young artists of today. She takes risks. She’s herself. She marches to her own drummer. I love what she did with that. I thought it was brilliant. I could hear that she got slightly inspired by the beat. I respect and admire her so much. I’m honored that I have anything to do with inspiring Billie Eilish.” ALSO: How The Office looks like around the world.
