It was enough for the OP to start a topic, asking what that song was. The advertising guru's have done their job!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Eilish

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell (/ˈbɪliː ˈaɪlɪʃ/,[1] born December 18, 2001) is an American singer and songwriter. She first gained media attention in 2016 when she uploaded the song "Ocean Eyes" to SoundCloud, and it was subsequently released by Interscope Records subsidiary Darkroom. The song was written and produced by her brother Finneas, with whom she collaborates on music and live shows. Her debut EP, Don't Smile at Me (2017), reached the top 15 in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

Eilish's debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), debuted atop the Billboard 200 and became the best-performing album of 2019 in the US.[2] It also reached number one in the UK. The album contains six Billboard Hot 100 top 40 singles: "When the Party's Over", "Bury a Friend", "Wish You Were Gay", "Xanny", "Everything I Wanted",[a] and "Bad Guy", the last of which became her first number one single in the US.

Her accolades include five Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, two Guinness World Records, and three MTV Video Music Awards. She is the youngest person and first woman to win the four main Grammy categories, Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year in the same year.[3][4]

You don't have to like her music, but many do. She has broad appeal, and has won many awards anyone else in the industry would envy.

All before she turned 18.....

Don't think it was correctly answered previously.

Song name: Bad Guy
Artist: Billie Eilish

Woops - should have opened the second post

Agreed. Only thing I hated when they showed it was the sweaty shirt armpits.

Don't know why!

This song is/was featured in a number of ads at least as far back as June of last year.
I know because it got stuck in my head and eventually my daughter bought my the CD as a birthday gift.


The song is everywhere and while nearly everything released today does not much for me, this song is different and interesting......I don't need to hear it several times a day however.

None of these made me want to research the internet, or entice me to walk into a Holden dealer to find out more.
Failed to understand - but you were able to tell me the brand, the model and the story of the ad......its done its job in awareness phase...

To entice you to walk into the dealership, they'll have to hit you during the conversion stage - but that's only if you are in market...otherwise, theyd be wasting money...

You dont even have to search it up either - if you fit the target audience/ or hit the criteria based on your recent google searches (not necessarily searching for car). Theyll serve you another ad....if your not interested and dont click on it...they'll stop. if you are theyll hit you ad ad again.

And yes, i am in Marketing/Advertising industry...

I still don’t get the philosophy of what you are advocating.
Just because I am aware of an advert for a Farnarkle doesn’t make me want to rush out and buy that item. When I decide I need to buy a Farnarkle, I would probably go to Bunnings (there you go…. brand awareness, mainly because I know my local corner store hardware does not stock Farnarkles) and compare prices and specifications of various Farnarkles.

If I see an advert which I think is ridiculous (Colorado v Goat), or makes me wonder what it is all about, I dismiss it as a load of BS, consign it to memory as irrelevant. I may be aware of it, but as a potential customer who is totally impressed and must have ……… nah.

I must be really different from the mainstream sheeple who follow influencers.

The song caught my attention. Not the vehicle which is the purpose of the advertisement. My conclusion? Song? Weird. Vehicle? Not into SUVs as I prefer sedans.
