WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?

Sign in to edit

WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? is the full-length debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish. It was released on March 29, 2019 through Interscope Records.

Background[]

The album began to be written in May 2017, with the track "listen before i go" although it was only finished years later, in the spring of 2018. Eilish wanted an album that was a mix of genres and something "crazy but also depressing".[1]

The album was recorded in his brother Finneas' small studio room. According to them, this decision was made due to the intimate and homely nature of the room, in addition to the lack of natural light in professional studios and its high cost of use.[2][3]

On March 20, 2018, Eilish confirmed that she was working on an album and announced that it would probably be finished by the end of the same year.[4] In July 2018, Eilish announced the album's release date in an interview with BBC Radio.[5]

The first official single from the album- "you should see me in a crown"- was released on July 18, 2018 after being premiered on BBC Radio 1 with Annie Mac.

The pre-order was made available on January 30, 2019, alongside the release of its third single.
