Happier Than Ever is the upcoming second studio album by American singer Billie Eilish, scheduled to be released on July 30, 2021. It will serve as the followup to When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019). The release is preceded by the release of the singles "My Future" and "Therefore I Am".

Background

Billie Eilish released her debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, to commercial success in 2019. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and was certified 3× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[2][3] It won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and along with its single, "Bad Guy" (2019), earned Eilish five Grammy Awards.[4] Following its release, Eilish continued releasing standalone singles, including "Everything I Wanted" (2019) and "My Future" (2020), which debuted within the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100.[5]

In a January 2020 interview, Eilish stated she would begin working on her upcoming second studio album during the year.[6] In March, Eilish's brother Finneas O'Connell further confirmed this, stating that it would be "pretty pure in its intention" like Eilish's debut, with the two continuing to make the type of music they like to "play live".[7] She released the lead single from the album,[8] "My Future", on July 30, 2020, exactly one year before the album's scheduled release date.[9] The album's second single, "Therefore I Am", was released in November that same year. In January 2021, Eilish stated that the album "feels exactly how I want it to", with her not wanting to change a single thing about it. Her documentary film, Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry, was released the following month.[10] Later in February, Eilish announced the album would have 16 tracks.[11] Two months later, she began hinting at the upcoming release of new music, and revealed the title Happier Than Ever in an Instagram post on April 26th, 2021, which included a 15-second long snippet of the song of the same name, which Eilish had previously teased in the documentary film.[12][13]

On April 27, 2021, Eilish confirmed Happier Than Ever as the album title after billboards announcing the album and its release date reportedly began appearing in various cities.[1][14] Another single is scheduled to be released on April 29, 2021, and the album is scheduled to be released on July 30, 2021.[15][16]
