"Happier Than Ever" is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Billie Eilish, released on 30 July 2021 by Darkroom and Interscope Records. The album was co-written by Eilish and her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O'Connell, who also produced the record and performed all instruments. Eilish has cited self-reflection during the COVID-19 pandemic as a primary inspiration for the album. The album is primarily a downtempo pop record, featuring sparse, jazz-influenced electropop arrangements at meditative tempos, marking a stylistic departure from the upbeat, trap-led sound of her debut album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" (2019). The songs explore the challenges and downsides of fame, with lyrics reflecting on Eilish's rise to prominence and the pressures associated with stardom. Critics praised the album for its restrained production and insightful songwriting. At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, "Happier Than Ever" and its title track received seven nominations, including Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year. Seven singles were released to promote the album: "My Future", "Therefore I Am", "Your Power", "Lost Cause", "NDA", "Happier Than Ever", and "Male Fantasy". The first three singles reached the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100, with "Therefore I Am" peaking at number two, "My Future" at number six, and "Your Power" at number ten. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200,
