The pop star, who is releasing her second album on July 30, said in a new interview that therapy helped her creative process, leading to the best music of her career to date.

She told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: “It’s much better [than ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?‘]. I mean listen, it’s a lot of work.

“Plus, when you want to give your album life, and a big one, and you want people to listen, you have to do things to make it happen. You have to do shoots and shoots and shoots. And all the things. And it’s been a pretty trying few weeks, I have to tell you. I cried probably 30 times. I have probably cried more in the past two weeks than in my entire life, ”she said.

“But it’s okay, because life goes on and things go by. But the whole process was much better overall. I feel so much more confident and happy in my life and my personal life, and my brain and my creatives. It’s just that the promo is difficult. It’s hard, but it’s worth it. “

Eilish added that seeing a therapist helped her talk about her buried feelings, which helped her better filter ideas for her new album.

“I like therapy. Everyone should be in therapy, absolutely. Yes it does. Dude, that cleans it up. I also have therapy once a week, and I’m so happy about it, ”she told Lowe.

“I sincerely believe that everyone, every human being on earth should be in therapy, whether you feel this or that about your life, whether you are happy or whatever. Everyone should go, even if they think their life is just amazing and perfect, and everything is fine. Every person should go. And I think it helps my creative process, because it doesn’t make me throw up any words, and it doesn’t make me have it all here. It makes me talk about things, and then I think about it constantly.

“I talk about things in therapy that I don’t even think about in my life. And then during the week I’m like, “Wow, that thing we talked about in therapy, I should write about it. It’s really interesting. And it’s really useful, it gets it out of you and it’s really necessary.

Eilish’s interview comes after the release of “NDA” today (July 9), with a self-directed music video.

This is the fifth song to share from “Happier Than Ever”, following “Your Power” and “Lost Cause”, as well as “My Future” and “Therefore I Am”, both released in 2020.
