“So crazy writing this right now, I’m nervous and excited. I don’t do singles, I want to give it all to you at once,” she wrote via Instagram in April. “Finneas and I really couldn’t be more proud of this album and we absolutely can’t wait for you to hear it. I love you I love you I love you.”
While attending Coachella’s first weekend, Eilish revealed a handful of new songs, performing tracks like “Chihiro,” “L’Amour De Ma Vie” and “Lunch” for a few lucky fans.
“Lunch” was popular among listeners, as the teaser featured queer undertones and explicit lyrics.
“I could eat this girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue / Looks like she could be the one / And I can’t get enough,” Eilish sings. “I could buy you so much stuff / It’s a want, not a crush.”
Before teasing the track at the Desert Music Festival, Eilish teased that she was filming a music video for “Lunch.” In an interview with Apple Music Zane LoweEilish shared that her brother and collaborator, Finneas O’Connellproduced the track.

“What Finneas and I said to a few people when we started playing it for people was that we had kind of made the album and if someone had said, ‘I want you to do an album and no one will hear it,’” Eilish said at the time. “We made an album without really thinking – or thinking much – about how other people. [would perceive it]. So I found myself, when I play it for people, I’m kind of like, ‘You weren’t supposed to hear that.’
In addition to exploring a new side of her art, Eilish is also sticking to her desire to be more eco-friendly in the music industry. The Grammy winner’s online store has listed two versions of the vinyl pressing, including a basic black version and an Eco-Mix version.
