What if your deepest thoughts, ones you never meant to share, suddenly became public? That’s how Billie Eilish describes the feeling of releasing her new album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. She says, “It feels like your nudes leaked a little bit.” The words might be funny at first, but they hold something deeper. This album is personal, like pages from a diary no one was supposed to read.
While talking about the album, Billie explains how she and Finneas created it as if no one would ever hear it. They didn’t think about how people might react. That’s why the songs feel raw and honest. There’s a strange kind of freedom in it. You can sense how close the music is to her heart, and how hard it is for her to let people hear it.
Speaking with Billie for the first time about ‘HIT ME HARD AND SOFT’
Fans have connected with this side of Billie, saying it brings them even closer to her. The openness feels like something shared between friends and not a performance. The words, the way she pauses when speaking, everything shows how vulnerable she feels. It’s rare to see an artist be this open and that is why so many love her work.
The same quiet honesty from HIT ME HARD AND SOFT appears again in Berlin, but in a much deeper way. Billie opens up about her struggles with depression and reveals she almost took her own life while on tour. During a heartfelt interview on Gayle King’s Grammy special, she shared that she felt deeply unhappy and joyless last year. This moment shows her vulnerability and strength, making her honesty feel real and powerful.
