'Lunch' - Fans react to Billie Eilish's 'absolute bop of a song'
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
The 22-year-old singer is freaking out - in a good way - about her new album and music...
Billie Eilish's new album, 'Hit Me Hard and Soft', is officially available on all streaming music platforms.
The singer released her third studio album and a new song, 'Lunch', on Friday, May 17. Billie worked on the album with her brother, Finneas O'Connell, who produced her previous two EPs.
"I don’t even know what to SAAYY... @finneas and I put so much into this album and have never ever ever loved something more. We hope you enjoy it so much and i’ll see you on the other side. Eeeeeeeeeeeeek HMHAS out now everywhere. Love you all to deaaaaath!!!!".
Billie did not release any songs before the album's debut, which makes 'Lunch' her first single release.
"I wanna give it to you all at once," the 9x Grammy Award-winner said about the decision.
"Finneas and I truly could not be more proud of this album and we absolutely can’t wait for you to hear it."
