It’s been nearly a week since Billie Eilish dropped her third studio album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” and fans have loved every single minute of it. Songs like “Birds of a Feather,” “Bittersuite,” and “Chihiro” have been spinning in listeners’ playlists for the last five days. But everyone wants to hear more from the 22-year-old, and since last Friday, speculation about the possibility of a double album has spread on social media. Furthermore, Billie’s latest hint might have confirmed this theory.

Billie and Finneas, who produced all her albums, sat down with Zane Lowe for an in-depth interview on Apple Music. The conversation touched upon several topics, from the making of “Happier Than Ever” and “Hit Me Hard and Soft” to the influence of their experiences on the music. While talking about the new album, THAT question came up: Zane asked about the final verse of the album, which goes, “but when can I hear the next one?” hinting at new material already recorded. Billie dodged the question by just smiling and laughing. This was enough to spark even more excitement among fans. One fan wrote on X/Twitter, “BILLIE EILISH’S DOUBLE ALBUM THEORY IS CONFIRMED OMG?”

The discussed outro is featured on the album’s tenth and final track, “Blue.” However, it’s not the only detail that made fans convinced that “Hit Me Hard and Soft” is a double album. The first speculations began during the promotion of the LP, where the color blue was dominant—the cover art is an example. However, she also posted photos in which she wears a specific bright shade of red, leading fans to think that it was the color of the second part of the album. In addition, Billie’s stans have found a connection between these two colors—blue and red—with her song “ilomilo” from “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” The song title is named after a puzzle video game where the main characters are blue and red.

In conclusion, the main theme of the album is the color blue, and its final track is titled “Blue.” The final lyric hints at a new album, the comparisons to “ilomilo,” and Billie’s reaction to Zane Lowe’s question are fueling fans’ theories. Do four clues prove it?
