It’s been over two years since Billie Eilish dropped her last album, Happier Than Ever, in 2021. However, for fans eagerly awaiting new music, there’s good news on the horizon. Billie Eilish recently revealed that she’s in the “final stages” of creating her upcoming third album.
During an appearance on the radio network Westwood One‘s segment “The Cookout,” Eilish was asked about her progress with new music. She shared, “There is lots of music coming. There is a whole album of music coming. We’re in the final stages of making it, so that doesn’t mean it’s about to come out, but it is getting there and it’s very exciting.”
While it’s unlikely that the new project will drop before the end of this year, fans can potentially anticipate its release in 2024.

Eilish also took the opportunity to address rumors surrounding her involvement in a new documentary. These rumors were sparked by her wearing a GoPro camera on stage during performances. Eilish firmly denied the existence of a documentary but clarified her reason for wearing the camera:
“There is no documentary, I can confirm that, that that is not happening. But I’m sure someday, there will be another one. But I put a GoPro on because after the shows, I run out into the crowd and jump up on the barricade and like, grab everybody – really, they grab me, and I just submit to it. I just put myself there, and I’m like, ‘Whatever happens, happens. Whoever grabs what…,’ I submit myself. If I didn’t, if I was gonna be upset with something, I wouldn’t go out there, because that’s a recipe for disaster.”
She went on to explain the emotional connection she shares with her fans during these moments: “I go out there, I stand myself up there, I just open my arms, and I just let them just hug me and grab my arm and… I just think it’s really special to do that, and I get so much out of it, even though it’s terrifying, a little. And those faces, this close to me, screaming in my face, sobbing, is an experience that I don’t think we’re meant to experience, as people.”
Eilish also expressed her desire to share her perspective during these interactions by using a GoPro: “Every time I do it, I always run right backstage and tell everybody, ‘Wow! I wish you guys could see my POV when I do that, because it is shocking! And so I was like, ‘Can I get a GoPro or something?’ And so I just, for the last show, I just wanted to pop a little GoPro on there and just film my POV, and I did and it’s crazy.”
