"TV" leads off Guitar Songs, the two-song EP Billie Eilish dropped without warning on July 21, 2022, via Darkroom and Interscope, because she wanted fans to have new music as soon as possible. She and her brother Finneas O'Connell wrote it; he produced it and covered guitar, piano, bass, drums and synthesizer, and Rob Kinelski mixed it.
Next to the fantasy of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, this is a plainspoken, sentimental ballad drawn from her own life, spare acoustic guitar keeping her soft voice up front, and it touches on the Roe v. Wade reversal of June 2022, a ruling she found devastating. She had considered it for Hit Me Hard and Soft before judging its lyrics too immediate for that record, and she first sang it live in Manchester on the Happier Than Ever tour.
