Guitar Songs by Billie Eilish

Guitar Songs, Billie Eilish's second EP, dropped without warning on July 21, 2022, through Darkroom and Interscope, because she wanted new music in fans' hands as fast as possible. It's just two songs, written with her brother Finneas O'Connell, who produced both, and they felt too immediate to sit around waiting for her next album.

Stripped to simple acoustic guitar and her soft voice, both are plainspoken ballads rooted in real life rather than the spooky fantasy of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. "TV", which she first played live in Manchester, takes in the June 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade, a ruling that devastated her. "The 30th", the first thing she wrote once Happier Than Ever was done, is named for the day in November 2021 when a friend nearly died in a car crash. Critics singled out the songwriting and the singing, and the songs reached the Billboard Hot 100.
