Billie Eilish is moving full steam ahead in 2025, with the pop star teasing in a recent interview that she’s ready to get back in the studio following last year’s hit album Hit Me Hard and Soft — that is, whenever she finds the time while on tour this year, something she hinted might not end as soon as fans think.

While in Australia for the latest leg of her global Hit Me Hard and Soft trek, Eilish was candid about her plans for the next 12 months in an interview with Hit Network posted Wednesday (Feb. 26). “Definitely getting back into the studio and doing stuff,” she began. “I mean, I definitely have more tour.”

“Lots of tour to do,” she added, before teasing, “Probably more than I’m even scheduled for that’s going to come, which I’m excited about.”

Eilish is currently booked through the end of June, with the “Lunch” singer scheduled to embark on a European leg shortly after her Australian run of dates ends in March. So far, she’s completed four shows in Brisbane and two of four nights in Sydney.

Before that, the nine-time Grammy winner spent about two months touring through North America before closing out with five shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Just before shipping off to Australia, Eilish performed her hit single “Birds of a Feather” at the 2025 Grammys, where the song was also nominated for song and record of the year, while Hit Me Hard and Soft was up for album of the year; she ended up losing to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” for both song categories, and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter for AOTY.

The “What Was I Made For?” artist has still had a banner year with her third studio album, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. “Birds of a Feather” — which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — was also one of the most streamed songs of 2024, with Spotify reporting in January that the buoyant love song beat out all other tracks on the platform last year.

While speaking to Hit Network, however, Eilish revealed that she truly had no idea the LP would be received so well. “I’ve definitely learned that I never have any idea what people are gonna like or not like,” she told the outlet. “In the making of this album, I had a couple moments of like, ‘They’re not going to like it; people aren’t going to like it; it’s not good enough; what if it’s not universal?'”

“And then, I gave it up and thought, ‘You know what? I don’t care at all,'” she added. “‘I’m not making this for anyone but myself.'”
