Billie Eilish has finally released her highly anticipated third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, with the lyrics of the final track, "Blue," capturing significant attention from fans. This album follows her sophomore effort, Happier Than Ever, and her groundbreaking debut, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?. Eilish's new work ventures into fresh songwriting territory, blending a rollercoaster of emotions with themes of heartbreak and isolation. The album's blue theme is visually represented in the artwork and thematically embodied in the powerful closing track, "Blue.
"Blue" is reported to be the album version of a previously unreleased song, "True Blue," which Eilish had often teased during live shows and initially planned for her second album. Following its release, fans have delved into the lyrics, discovering that Eilish cleverly integrates nods to every other song on the album. For instance, the phrase "Birds of a feather" in the first part of the song references the fourth track, speculated to be about her past relationship with Jesse Rutherford. As the song progresses, it shifts to a more solemn tone with the line "born bluer than a butterfly," and further includes nods to other tracks like "Désole, mon amour," connecting to the seventh track, "L’Amour De Ma Vie," and "I’m trying my best," subtly referencing the sixth track, "The Greatest."
These lyrical connections continue throughout "Blue," with lines such as “Don’t know what’s in store, open up the door” pointing to "Chihiro," and "In the back of my mind," referencing "Wildflower." Fans have also noted that the song's final lyric, "But when can I hear the next one?" hints at a potential continuation of the project. This speculation has been fueled by fan discussions on social media, with some suggesting that a "red-themed" sequel could be on the horizon, indicating that Eilish's creative journey with Hit Me Hard and Soft might just be beginning.
