Billie Eilish shared a preview of the tracklist for her new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, with her fans. Posting on Instagram, the 22-year-old singer revealed the list of songs in an infographic on Thursday, April 18.

The album will include 10 new songs: “Skinny,” “Lunch,” “Chihero,” “Birds of a Feather,” “Wildflower,” “The Greatest,” “L’Amour de ma Vie,” “The Diner,” “Bittersuite” and “Blue.”

Eilish shared the news this month that her album is set to be released on May 17. She also mentioned to her fans that she won't be dropping any new songs prior to the album release.

I'm feeling so excited and nervous as I write this! I won't be releasing singles, I want to share the whole album with you at once," she shared on Instagram in April. "Finneas and I are incredibly proud of this album and we can't wait for you to hear it. Love you all!"

During the first weekend of Coachella, Eilish gave fans a sneak peek of some new songs, performing tracks like "Chihiro," "L'Amour De Ma Vie," and "Lunch."

The teaser for the song "Lunch" was well-received by listeners, with its queer undertones and explicit lyrics standing out.

In the lyrics, Eilish sings, "I could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue / Tastes like she might be the one / And I can never get enough. I could buy you so much stuff / It’s a craving, not a crush."

Before performing at the desert music festival, Eilish hinted that she was shooting a music video for “Lunch.” During an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Eilish mentioned that her brother and collaborator, Finneas O’Connell, produced the track.

Eilish explained that when they started sharing the album with a few people, they approached it as if it were a project meant for no one else to hear. She admitted, “We made an album without really considering how others would perceive it. So, when I play it for people, I feel a bit like, ‘You weren’t supposed to hear this.’”

Eilish is not only showcasing a different aspect of her talent but also staying true to her commitment to sustainability in the music business. Her online store offers two options for vinyl pressing: a standard black version and an Eco-Mix version.
