Summary

[edit]
Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description A 29-second sample of "Happier Than Ever" by American singer Billie Eilish, from her second studio album Happier Than Ever (2021).
Author or
copyright owner
The performing artist is Billie Eilish. The copyright belongs to the record labels, Darkroom and Interscope Records.
Source (WP:NFCC#4) The audio is taken from the version of the song that appears on the album, which is 4 minutes and 58 seconds long. It can be viewed on YouTube here.
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Happier Than Ever (song)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The sample is in the article to help readers understand how the song is described in reliable sources—specified as a "grungy pop" power ballad with elements of rock and pop-punk—as well as its instrumentation, of which bass and electric guitars are a part. Specifically, the sample illustrates how "Happier Than Ever" transitions from sparse guitars to electric guitars and an arena rock production, after which Eilish sings cathartically. The transition and Eilish's vocal performance are the subject of significant critical commentary from multiple reliable sources, and without the sample, readers may have a hard time understanding the concepts used to explain the topic.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The audio from which the sample is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free alternative that stays true to the original work is not possible.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Text alone cannot properly explain the song's instrumentation and production, as well as the mood that the vocals evoke.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The duration of the sample is only 10% of that of that original song, and has been compressed to a quality low enough to avoid piracy.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The use of a brief sample in the article will not impact the commercial viability of the song or album in a negative way.
