**RETWEET**

”Retweet” is the second album released by pop and Alternative rock singer Billie Eilish. This album began production in early 2017 but wasn’t actually begun and started as a full fledge project until late 2019

**BACKGROUND**

Originally, Billie was going to release a direct sequel to her debut album “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO” titled “Fading Dreams [as a name holder]”, but she stated in a interview later on that she started having new ideas not related to “WWAFAWDWG” so she began producing two new tracks titled “Chain Reaction“ and “everything i wanted” (which she released a month later) but before she could advance them, the United States and the rest of the world went into quarantine. Billie later confirmed that during this time her and her brother decided that they were going to try and get as much of the album done as they could, which mainly consisted of her and her brother adding background, music, and vocals to her tracks while also producing a few demos for unreleased songs, but once lock down was less restricted in February 2021, Billie met up with Dark Room and Interscope Records and finished up the album. Then on April 3rd 2021 Billie tweeted “Retweet Me”, along with a photo of her in the studio on instagram with the caption “Retweet Me” and four of her at the time unknown album producers retweeted it obviously hinting at something upcoming. The next week Billie confirmed in an interview that a new album was coming and she was just finishing up some artwork for the album and along with that she also confirmed that it would have a few references and some add-on tracks to her other record “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO”. Finally on June 29th 2021 Billie announced the the album title via Twitter after releasing two teaser videos at different times the week-of, hinting at a new album.

**THEME**

Billie stated that her album “Retweet” was made to express and tell about the dangers and fake-ness of social Media. Along with that she also talks about life as a celebrity, the urge to become famous by many people and influencers, global issues, and the pros and cons to fandoms along with toxic and non toxic relationships. Billie also stated that since she was now an official adult she wanted to make her new album much more mature language and story wise.

**SINGLES**

”everything i wanted” was released as the first single to her second studio album on November 13, 2019 which ended up topping charts and was certified gold.

“Fingers Crossed” was released on May 29, 2021 but it was first teased on May 26,2021 with a short 15 second clip for the music video, titled “Fingers Crossed”. It reached world wide success and topped the charts for three weeks straight in five different countries
