Use in article ( WP:NFCC#7) Lost Cause (Billie Eilish song)
Purpose of use in article ( WP:NFCC#8) The sample illustrates the song's characteristics to help readers understand its genre and genre influences. Specifically, it shows the song's use of drums, bassline, and a crooning vocal style, which are a subject of critical commentary in multiple sources cited in the article. Other cited sources state that "Lost Cause" is a downtempo, R&B song that takes influences from trip-hop, funk, and 1950s jazz music; the sample helps readers to identify those genres given the illustrated elements.
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 fully capture how the song's genre, instruments, and vocals sound.
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.
