"when the party's over" went out in October 2018 through Darkroom and Interscope as the second single from Billie Eilish's debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, and it's the hush at the center of the storm. Her brother Finneas O'Connell wrote and produced it, and the idea came to him on a lonely late-night drive home after walking out of a date's house for no real reason: sad the relationship was over, but safe in knowing he'd never fully given himself to it.
Finneas plays piano, bass and percussion and sings backing vocals, and Rob Kinelski mixed it. The two of them played it live a year before the studio version came out, which Finneas later decided was a mistake, since he worried fans would hold the studio take up against the live one and find it lacking.
