It’s always a good day when Billie Eilish releases new music. So consider today to be doubly good!

The multiple Grammy Award winner decided to surprise her fans with not one, but two, new tracks as part of a collection she has dubbed Guitar Songs.

The first song, entitled “TV”, made its debut last month when Eilish and her brother Finneas performed an acoustic version during a concert in Manchester. 

“Performing ‘TV’ on tour was such a highlight for us too, so we took the audio from the first night we played it in Manchester and put it in the song. I get shivers every time I hear it,” she said upon its official release. 

According to the “Happier Than Ever” singer, the collection’s second song, “The 30th”, was inspired by the calendar date. 

“We wrote that on December 30, and that was actually the first song that we had written since ‘Happier Than Ever,’” Billie told Apple Music. “That’s why it’s called ‘The 30th’, because something happened on November 30 and it had just been the most indescribable thing to have to witness and experience. I had been writing down all these thoughts that I was having. I was with Finneas, and I was like, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t know what you were planning on doing, but we need to write this song about this right now,’ and we did, and that was the first song we wrote since ‘Happier Than Ever’.”

If you’re looking for us, we’ll just be here, playing the tracks on repeat.
