Eilish released a snippet of "Your Power", a ballad with acoustic instrumentation, on April 28, 2021. Regarding the track, Eilish stated, "This is one of my favorite songs I've ever written. I feel very vulnerable putting this one  out because I hold it so close to my heart. This is about many different situations that we've all either witnessed or experienced. I hope I can inspire change. Try not to abuse your power." In her 2021 British "Vogue" cover story following the release of her single, the 19-year-old star talks her new song's "open letter to people who take advantage," body image, and sexual misconduct. In an official Vevo "Happier Than Ever" interview, Eilish said that she chooses singles because of their lyrics rather than if the song "will be big". Regarding "Your Power , the singer expressed that the song felt like very kind of middle ground for the album". According to her, she assigns "tang brown" color to both the song, and the album. Composition. Critics, who described the song as a folk ballad, noted the timbral contrast between the track and Eilish's older work. In an article, "The Guardian"s Alexis Petridis wrote that the song "dials down the electronic horror-movie soundtrack approach of Eilish's previous album in favour of something more understated ... there's nothing to it but an acoustic guitar and Eilish's reverb-drenched voice"; thereafter, Petridis  noted stylistic influences from Mazzy Star and Lana Del Rey. "Rolling Stone"s Brittany Spanos shared similar opinions, writing that "Eilish sings above a delicate, acoustic guitar riff." Chart performance. In the United States, "Your Power" entered the "Billboard" Hot 100 at number 10 as the week's highest debut. The song marks Billie's third top 10 debut on the chart and fifth top 10 overall.
