Billie Eilish is blonde and ready to release her new single and album. Here's everything we know about them so far.
Billie Eilish is back with a new hairstyle, a new song and she's just revealed that her new album is called Happier Than Ever.
Last year (Dec 22), Billie Eilish teased on Instagram that she would be changing her hair and starting a new era in 2021. Fans then came up with detailed theories that Billie was wearing a wig at the Grammys this year to hide the fact that she'd dyed her hair and they were right. Billie later posted a photo of her new blonde hair and teased: "things are comingggg".

What are Billie Eilish's 'Happier Than Ever' lyrics about?
In the short snippet of 'Happier Than Ever' that we've heard so far, Billie sings: "When I'm away from you / I'm happier than ever." Discussing the song in her The World's a Little Blurry documentary, Billie said: "The whole song is just more like nothing even specific that they did, you’re just not happy being with them. Can’t even explain it."
In other words, it appears that Billie is singing about realising that she's unhappy in a relationship. It was possibly inspired by her ex-boyfriend Q.
