Rihanna sparks chaos after revealing Billie Eilish is her ‘dream’ collaborator: ‘Pick up your phone!’

It’s time to work work work work work work — with Billie Eilish.

During an interview with “Access Hollywood,” Rihanna revealed who her dream collaborator is.

“If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish,” the 36-year-old said in a clip the outlet shared Thursday. “She’s so good.”

Fans went into a frenzy in the comments section, sharing their approval for the “dream” team.

One user wrote, “Billie you have been the chosen one,” while another chimed in, “Billie pick up your phone.”

Rounding out the sweet comments, a fan said, “BILLIE GET ON YOUR ZOOM,” while another added in, “We’re literally counting on you!!”

And it’s no small feat being the rare soul who the superstar picks to record music with.

“I’m not a big collaborator … It has to be very intentional, so I’ll know when I have the record,” Rihanna told “Extra” of her choosing process in April.

But this lovely collab might just come to fruition, as Eilish responded to the news. “What in the absolute f–k oh my god what the f–k,” she wrote on Instagram.

Rihanna also revealed she is “prepared” to get back in the studio with a new perspective to work on her ninth studio alum, “R9.”

“Yeah, I’m starting over,” RiRi declared to “Entertainment Tonight” in June. “But I don’t want to neglect the songs that I have, so I actually want to go back and listen to stuff with new ears, with my new perspective and then see what applies and what I’m still in love with.”

“People got triggered with that ‘retired’ word,” quipped the beauty mogul. “They were like, ‘We’re never getting an album now.’ No one read the other line. It was something about, ‘This is as dressed up as I get.’”

Despite her Fenty Beauty empire and being a parent to sons RZA and Riot with A$AP Rocky, Rihanna isn’t looking to stop the music anytime soon.

“I think that music, for me, is a new discovery,” she said. “I’m rediscovering things. I have been working on the album for so long that I kinda put all that stuff aside and now I’m prepared to go back in the studio. I’m gonna start — give me a second!”

Although Rihanna has not released an album since 2016’s “Anti,” her older hits, including “Pon de Replay” and “Disturbia,” are still finding success today.

Over the summer, her 2012 single “Diamonds” was RIAA certified diamond.

“Wow. I remember where we made it from the jump. It was in London, and I also remember performing ‘Diamond’ on tour,” Rihanna recalled to “ET.” “Performing it with all the lights … everyone puts their phone out at that very moment. And it’s connected to my grandma. I literally think of her every single time I perform that.”
