Earlier this week, the Grammy winner teased a 15-second snippet of a new song on social media, racking up more than seven million views on YouTube. Many people thought the teaser meant the “bad guy” singer was releasing a new single; however, the announcement of a brand new album immediately sparked excitement amongst fans.
Happier Than Ever will be Eilish’s follow up to her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? which was released back in 2019. The album received critical acclaim and earned several Grammy awards, making Eilish the first woman to win across the ceremony’s four major categories – Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist – all in the same year.
