Billie Eilish Fans Are Ecstatic After Her New Album Announcement: ‘Saved My Entire 2024’
Billie Eilish‘s fans are happier than ever after the 22-year-old pop star announced Monday (April 8) that her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, will arrive later this spring.
The singer shared the news on Instagram alongside the project’s cover art, a portrait of her sinking underwater, seemingly seconds after being dropped from the other side of a door that’s visible at the top of the frame. “MY THIRD ALBUMMMMMMMMMMMMM COMES OUT MAY 17THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH🥹🥹🥹,” she wrote. “so crazy to be writing this right now i’m nervyyyyy & exciteddd 🫣”

Adding that she and her brother/producer Finneas “could not be more proud of this album,” Eilish also confirmed that she won’t be releasing any singles ahead of time, noting, “i wanna give it to you all at once.” Even so, the excitement fans are experiencing based on the announcement alone might just be more than enough to sustain them until May 17, with many flocking to social media to rejoice immediately after the nine-time Grammy winner clicked “post.”
“BILLIE JUST ANNOUNCED A NEW ALBUM OH MY GOD,” wrote one amped-up fan in all-caps on X.
Another person tweeted, “Billie Eilish announcing a new album has really saved my entire 2024.”
Hit Me Hard and Soft will follow the musician’s 2019 debut When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and her 2021 sophomore effort Happier Than Ever, both of which topped the Billboard 200 for three weeks. This time around, Eilish is aiming to be even more eco-friendly with her album rollout than ever before, telling Billboard in a new interview, “If I don’t use that privilege to do some good in the world, then what’s the point?”
Her sustainability efforts surrounding her third LP include using recycled materials for the physical copies of Hit Me Hard and Soft. “We are doing everything we can to minimize waste in every aspect of my music,” she continued. “[My label has] listened to my concerns and helped me find the best way forward when releasing music and product into the world.”
