Billie Eilish has said her third studio album is done, signaling her first release in nearly three years. Here is everything we know so far.
With the wispy, heart-torn ballad in her rearview, Eilish eyes a brand new chapter of her life and career. Here is everything we know about Billie Eilish’s forthcoming, yet untitled, third album.
When is Billie Eilish releasing her third album?
Billie Eilishtook to Instagramon February 21 to reveal that her album has been “mastered,” which is the final step in the process of making an album. Typically, what happens next is properly turning in the album to her label and figuring out the accompanying album cover/aesthetic, music videos, and a PR rollout.

On the Grammy Awards red carpet, Billie Eilish said her album would be coming soon but wanted to give a labelmate time to shine in the spotlight. “Let Ariana [Grande] put her shit out — enjoy that,” shetold reporters. “That’s all I’m waiting for… Then, eventually, our stuff will happen.”

At this point in her career, it’s a safe bet to assume Eilish is working with her brother and long-standing collaborator Finneas O’Connell again. The two barrelled through the singer’s previous two records, so why fix what isn’t broken?
As with all things in life, Billie Eilish has learned to trust her instincts way more. In that same interview, she dove deep into what she’s gleaned most over the last few years. “The most important thing to me now is being in touch with myself and how I am actually really feeling and listening to my gut—trusting my gut,” she said.
