Intending to conclude the show in the same manner that she had started it, the vocalist cranked up the energy with two back-to-back hits — 'bad guy' and 'Happier Than Ever'. Midway through the show, Billie turned down the energy for a stripped-down medley. "Singapore was one of the first places that I ever went and did a show. "And then when I say, 'we're all going to jump around', will you jump with me on this song?" Jerome Laneway Festival, the then 16-year-old American singer-songwriter was still a young artist on the rise. More than just a concert, the Singapore stop of Billie's Happier Than Ever world tour was a microcosm of the hold that the wunderkind currently has on the entire world. Not long after, she went on to release not one, but two critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? The resulting scene was a riotous one filled with ecstatic fans bouncing to the beat of the infectious number. Prior to performing the track from her second studio album, Billie invited the audience to be a part of her performance. Bursting onto the stage with the night's opening number, 'bury a friend', the pop sensation, who was in town for the latest leg of her Happier Than Ever world tour, instantly made it clear that her long-awaited reunion with her fans in Singapore was going to be one to remember. One of the most memorable songs of the night was, without a doubt, 'Oxytocin'. She continued: "I remember sitting on stage in Singapore at that show and thinking, 'This is the coolest sh*t I'm going to ever get to do and I'll never get to do anything cooler than this.' And this is happening right now, so I just want to say thank you and I love you!"
