Billie Eilish revealed that she is currently working on her third studio album, and she is almost finished making it.

"There is a whole album of music coming," the "Ocean Eyes" singer announced. "We're in the final stages of making it, so that doesn't mean it's about to come out, but it is getting there and it's very exciting."

On top of making the album, Eilish is also rumored to be working on a documentary, however, the singer debunked the rumors after being seen carrying a GoPro camera around.

"I put a GoPro on, because after the shows I run out into the crowd and jump up on the barricade and grab everybody... really they grab me, and I just submit to it," the singer explained.

"I just put myself there, whatever happens, happens. Whoever grabs what, I submit myself... I open my arms and just let them hug me grab my arm and touch me. I just think it's really special to do that and I get so much out of it even though it's terrifying a little."

Billie Eilish on Hit Song 'What Was I Made For?'

Elsewhere in her interview, Eilish addressed the inspiration behind her emotional ballad, "What Was I Made For?" a song from the "Barbie" movie soundtrack.

"Everyone's always reaching but that's ok. It's important to reach because you've gotta have something to hold onto," Eilish said.

It was not like that at first, though, the "Happier Than Ever" singer admitted that she had a tough time writing the song with her brother and collaborator, Finneas.

"I was literally leaving, I was walking out the door. It was late, I'd been there for six hours or something and Finneas was like, 'hold on, should we try to write this song?'"

She also revealed that they argued over it before eventually sitting down and writing the entire song together within a couple of hours.

Billie Eilish's Previous Release

Eilish's highly successful sophomore album, "Happier Than Ever" was co-written and produced by herself and Finneas.

It was inspired by the singer's reflections during the Covid-19 pandemic, when everyone was in lockdown.

The album earned seven nominations at the Grammy Awards in 2022, including Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year.

It boasts seven singles, "My Future," "Therefore I Am," "Your Power," "Lost Cause," "NDA," "Happier Than Ever," and "Male Fantasy."
