"NDA" (short for non-disclosure agreement) went out in July 2021 as the fifth single from Happier Than Ever, Billie Eilish's second album, and it sounds like the inside of a paranoid mind: dark, throbbing electropop with an industrial chill and flickers of trance and trip hop. She wrote it with her brother Finneas O'Connell, who produced and recorded it and played the synths, bass synth, percussion and acoustic guitar; Eilish sings lead and tracked her own vocal, and Rob Kinelski mixed.
The subject is fame and the fight to keep a private life, drawn from her own relationships, and on the album it bleeds straight into "Therefore I Am". Eilish directed the video herself, walking a desert road alone while cars tear around her. Critics were mostly kind, singling out the production and her vocals.
