When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (stylized in all caps) is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Billie Eilish. It was released on March 29, 2019, by Darkroom and Interscope Records in the US and Polydor Records in the UK. Eilish, aged 17 at the time of release, largely wrote the album with her brother Finneas O'Connell, who produced it at his small bedroom studio in Highland Park, Los Angeles. A Target exclusive green glow in the dark vinyl was released as well.
If there’s such a thing as someone truly being “born to do something” …Billie and finneas were 10000% born to make music. And it’s such a blessing that they had the privilege and support from their parents to make their dreams come true unlike so many people who have the chops but just never get the chance
Especially finneas

Just a reminder… she won 5 Grammys for this album
Yet when she sent a demo of this album to a famous producer, he returned it back saying there is not a single hit song on it. That fool!
All 4 major ones - only woman who ever did this. Plus Finneas got one for production.
@@cattinkerbell4946 Not sure if the only woman, but certainly the youngest in Grammy history
The only woman to get all 4 major for one album. It's a fact.^^@@kfctwigs136
@@kfctwigs136 Yes, the only woman. One other woman did it over several years but never in the same year.
This is one of the most impressive debut albums I've ever heard.
I thought dont smile at me was her debut in 2017? This was 2019
@@digestingbutterflies612 dont smile at me was her debut EP (extended play). It wasn't a full album.
@@digestingbutterflies612it’s just an ep
@@digestingbutterflies612Dont smile at me is not an album it’s an EP
@@yuu_xxr9320what's an ep? like why is it not considered as an album?
You guys HAVE to do "Happier Than Ever" now!!! The progression is INSANE and levels up everything you love about this album to new extents
yess
yes ! absolutely, it's such a good album
YESS
this album is better then happier then ever
@@ryansutton8056 It's art, not sports, so enough of your "ooooh, this one is better than that one" bitchin'. If you like WWAFAWDWG better, then good for you. It's all subjective. Lots of people, myself included, prefer HTE because it's more complex and we're not shallow little spunk trumpets still humming bad guy in the shower like we're stuck in 2019 and wishing Billie could be 17 years old forever.😉
I love how much you include Finneas when discussing Billie's music because he's such an integral part of it all, and he is severely underrated and not recognised nearly enough
Its honestly wild that so many people seem to think Finneas is holding Billie back as an artist, if anything his production style is one of the most interesting parts of her sound.
Its so minimal and never competes too much with her voice, he seems really in tune with her progression and how she's maturing musically, I love what they did with her second album in particular.
Great to see you both liked it, one of the best pop albums of the 2010s imo.
yeah his production is amazing. I produce music and I wish I had half the talent this guy has for producing.
to be fair his production has become quite stale since her second album, I think that that's when people began saying this.
See my problem is I don't really see Billie growing musically from Happier Than Ever if she continues to work with Finneas. I want to see them both go off and pursue other projects with different collaborators. Plus Finneas' is a great producer but his style has become quite stale in recent years. Plus his solo album kinda blows so that might have something to do with the fact that people want to see the two of separated.
@@theboulderboulded5776exactly this is what i think
@@theboulderboulded5776 I mean it might be stale in that HTE wasn't as experimental as their first album, but the production was so smooth, it felt so good in my ear. However, I don't really like whatever mic they were using or how her voice sounded sometimes (not her voice itself, just the way it comes through the mic), but I'm guessing it's because they have to turn the volume up a little because she sings so delicately sometimes. But other than that, I think it sounded so good and mature. I do think bringing in someone occasionally to work in collaboration with Finneas on production could bring back some more experimentation that the first album had, but I think his production style is too intertwined with her sound and identity for her to completely separate from him.
“listen before i go” is so hauntingly beautiful. its hard to choose a favorite track from the album, but this one probably hits me the hardest
Her live performance of that is phenomenal. So haunting just her on the piano
ooh I need to hear this, @@Oatmilllk
Billie wrote and composed that song by herself at only 15-16 💔💔 she also wrote only by herself an unreleased song “6.18.18” about her friend death (xxx tentacion ) … im still crying when I hear that song … Billie is magic .. her intimate but so expressive delivery .. my god .. chills every time
This album is such a time stamp in history. I will always remember it.
FR
I’m so sad by how this album already makes me nostalgic…it was such a happy time
Me too
fr
It seriously is. That’s insane to think about
Honestly one of the best pop albums of the decade in my opinion. It's so unique in its themes and sounds, the production is tasteful, weird and catchy and it's a concept that is so well executed. The album is dark, sad, quirky, funny or just straight up terrifying at some parts. It's truly a body a work and the fact that this is billie's DEBUT album is so impressive
I get your sentiment completely and agree, I'd also consider Billie to be more alternative; Olivia Rodrigo may come to dominate the POP charts over Billie, but that is not Billie's lane, and I truly believe much of Billie's music will endure over time - seeing Billie sing Peggy Lee's Fever [July 27, 2022 at the Hollywood Bowl, SoCalLiveitLive channel - she also sings "Is That All There Is?" with Debby Harry of Blondie fame] or "Sally's Song" from the Nightmare Before Christmas [Nov. 1, 2021, VENOM channel youtube] - Billie is a phenomenon in my view.
@breadonbuddder5827just because she has a few songs that blur pop lines doesn't mean she isn't a pop artist
@breadonbuddder5827 "alternative" as a genre on it's own is not a genre and nobody will ever convince me otherwise. When people say "alternative", what does that mean? There's "alternative" pop, "alternative" rock, "alternative" r&b, "alternative" metal, it seems more like a catch all-term used for something that dabbles in a more eclectic range of soundscapes than the absolute most run-of-the-mill examples of the genre.
@breadonbuddder5827 It's alternative pop if we want to be more precise, which is still pop
She swept all 4 major Grammies with this album as the first and only woman ever. So it became extremely popular,
it's def. not "pop" in the sense of plastic pop of some other "artists".
"I love you" is one of the most powerful Billie's songs, and it is definitely my fav song of all her discography. Every time I listen to it, gives me shivers and feels like the first time I listened to it. The best song of this album
I agree , it's pure emotional
hands down
I liked it fine at the time but in hindsight this album is insanely underrated. For how popular she was in 2019 it's honestly surprising how quickly people seemingly moved on from this album.
it’s not underrated at all lol. the album is and has basically always been favorably reviewed/highly-favored among critics. Even fantano said that he thought this album caught his attention more than her sophomore record. I do understand what you mean but people always go nuts at her concerts when she plays these songs & the songs from her EP
@@logan-pe4rmI think what he means is that for as big as this album was, it’s crazy how nobody ever really talks about it and it doesn’t really hold that “classic” status it maybe should. Perhaps, with some time. It’s only 4 years old after all
@@logan-pe4rmalso side note: her second album was oddly overlooked at the time and didn’t get a lot of attention. My reason is that Olivia Rodrigo had just broke out at the time and kinda replaced Billie as the new “it girl” for that time
It received 6 grammys
@@MegaUtube99with time it will get the love it deserves
such an insane debut album. my love for her is eternal.
I thought dont smile at me was her debut in 2017. This one was in 2019
@@digestingbutterflies612 yeah! it was an ep though! this was her first album.
My favorite thing about "All the Good Girls Go to Hell" is that she says "I cannot do this SNOWFLAKE" because she was crocheting a snowflake while singing and she forgot how to do it, so in the middle of a take, she said that lol. Also, she's a really huge Office fan. Theres a video of Riann Wilson giving her Office trivia questions somewhere on UA-cam lol.
In another song, a fire truck siren could be heard. They leave all environmental sounds in as is.
omg had no idea!!!
“listen before i go, i love you, goodbye” what an insanely brilliant way to close the album
your dad probably recognises “when we all fall asleep where do we go” because the melody is similar to the melody of ‘people are strange” by the doors (my own father pointed this out to me whilst listening to it in the car)
Listening to this album while having depression definitely hits on a whole new level. Even with 5 Grammys, still feels underrated.
You should go see her live when you have the chance! The best concert I've ever been in.
also FINNEAS IS A F*CKING GENIUS. A TRUE MASTERMIND.
“all the good girls go to hell” is such a banger. My favorite Billie song tbh.
The bassline makes me want to get up and dance. Like, that was a Tame Impala-level Bassline
and the music video goes insanely hard too
this was the first record I fully listened all the way through and it changed everything for me
sameeee you just feel the lyrics in so many songs
me too!
oh my god same
About "My Strange Addiction": "The Office" is really her strange addiction. She watched all episodes
like 10 times and said this gives her peace when she'e on tour. :)
this album is so gas, i loved how moody and edgy it was and billie is such a valid singer.
Yeah, the second album is good, but it's just not what I wanted from her.
The struggle of a fan that wants to see someone grow but then is also like "wait not like that!" 😅
she (and phineas) did a great job making it dark and moody without being one-note the entire listen
@@DJKurohi personally think it was a HUGE growth and you can here the improvement in the production and her vocal technique… and a little biased cause i fucking love that album. But i get what you said of not everyone liking it as much as WWAFAWDWG
@@HermenejildoPimiento I agree. I just wanted more dark pop honestly. I would never say the album sucked, it just truly wasn't for me. I wasn't on the same wavelength lol. Like Lorde going from Melodrama to Solar Power. I wanted Melodrama Pt 2 haha.
CRANBERRIES PROFILE PIC♡ ♡ ♡
Funny how your dad talked about how crazy it would be to be their parents and listen to a master piece made by them and in her doc there's a scene that shows both of them in Billie's room writing I love you very causally and then they both sing it to her parents like its nothing and we can see the how extraordinary all this is. Is so amazing. I cant believe it you both haven't seen her doc cause you'll love it it show so much about the making of this album. just one of the most amazing things you'll see. There's one catch tho you'll both be hardcore fans after that (:
This is one of few albums that I consider perfect. Like the same level of perfect as R.A.M., Phineas' mixing is so professional and clean for a bedroom album.
Man I love RAM
Daft Punk? Or Paul McCartney? 😁
@@petarpetar Daft Punk lmao, uncle albert is cool but it’s no Giorgiro
@@petarpetar oh man haha I was definitely talking about Paul McCartney. (I love daft punk too) that's funny though 'I was like huh funny to bring up thet album on a Billie Eilish video'
I started REALLY listening to this album after the craze cooled down a bit, and that's when I was floored by it. I can only see it aging well. and I got to see her live last year, their live performance takes the songs to another level.
One of my favorite albums of all time. The production from Finneas, the songwriting, the singing, it's all near immaculate. It is such a fresh pop sound especially at the time it came out and I'm glad it got the praise it did both critically and commercially. This brother and sister duo are something special
Well said
It’s so crazy you guys enjoyed “I love you” and “listen before you go” those were my top 2 as well.
need to see him react to her debut ep “don’t smile at me” given how young both her and finneas were when they made it and how incredible it is
One of my favorite pop albums of the last decade. Billie kills it on this one, and the production is just wild.
I love Billie so much! Bad Guy is the song that they sampled the crosswalk sound on and they sampled dental drills on Bury A Friend!
Saw Billie at Osheaga music festival this year with my girlfriend and honestly… I was a huge fan before and now I’m an even bigger fan. Her albums are just banger after banger and she’s an amazing performer.
I HAVENT BEEN MORE HYPED FOR A NOTIFICATION IN A LONG TIME
PLS DO THE OTHER ALBUM AND EP TOO!!
God, I watched this without remembering how much "When The Party's Over" makes me cry. Oh my god that song.
So many of her songs really show the Julie London influence. Just such a powerful but controlled voice with minimalist backing.
i’m in love with you moonriverinc7896
Billie did mention Julie London along with Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra as influencers from that era.
as someone who's favorite billie song is i love you, this made me so happy. Super underrated mesmerizing heartbreaking lullaby-esque song
Love how much your pops love the album, I had a long drive around October of 2019 and decided to give her music a chance, and boy I’m glad I did!! I listened to the whole album that drive and immediately fell in love with her music, ilomilo is my personal favorite, you guys gotta do Happier than ever it’s basically their KID A album, its experimental and PERFECT haha :)
She deserved every Grammy she got for this album
Billie added some noises she recorded when she was at the dentist to make some of the noises in “you should see me in a crown” that your dad said gave him chills! she said she thought the noise was perfectly creepy for the track
Wait that might be in “bury a friend” (or both)!!
yes it’s on bury a friend
She did the same with Bad guy, she wanted to put the Aussie Pedestrian Crossing Sound there too 😊
@@kimberlynieman4016in you should see me in a crown there is the knife sound! Bury a friend the dentist sound!
I saw her live for the first time last February. I’m an older dude and I’m a billie superfan. I waited in the freezing cold for 18 hours to be front row. I was not disappointed. I was barricade and Billie was only feet away from me multiple times. She is a great performer. Keep in mind there’s only 3 people on stage. Finneas doing the keyboards, guitar and all that. And her drummer Andrew Marshall. And then there’s Billie..being a master of the ceremony.
I’m going to see her AGAIN in 10 days at music midtown in ATL.
Literally some of the best songwriting and production I’ve ever heard! 10/10 album! Finneas is a literal wizard!
I am so so happy that you did this album! It was a fantastic reaction and I really hope you do her follow up album to see the different things they did there. ❤
Kevin saying “give me fives” made me tear up. Love this channel and your father-son friendship
This album is so fantastic. As a teenager, I am so thoroughly impressed someone my age was able to create this masterpiece. My personal favourite is Ilomilo. It's highly underrated in the context of this album.
I LOVE ILOMILO
@@kaili5050 It's just SO GOOD.
I LOVE ILOMILO!!!!
YES i never hear ppl talking about this track!! i dig that a line from it is the title of her doc tho
My strange addiction is about the office, Billie is actually a huge fan of the show and has watched it alot of times. She actually did an interview with Rainn Wilson( Dwight) where he quizzed her about the show
Loved this! I would definitely love to see you guys do Happier Than Ever soon!
This is likely my favorite record of all time. This album was there during such a pivotal point in my life and I am so grateful and nostalgic for it. And to be honest, this is some of the best music this millennia has to offer in my opinion. Thanks for reacting to this years later, I had such a blast watching it. Can’t wait for more!
best album fr. a literal masterpiece!! everyone should listen to it
Finneas and Billy performed I LOVE YOU on Saturday Night Live. It was incredible. It's a fan favourite performance on tour too because they are on a bed, suspended above the stage and a giant full moon rises behind them. Magical. Definitely worth watching. She wrote this song for Tentation XXX, a musician she befriended and fell in love with who was shot and murdered on the street. Billy often cried when she performed it in the years closer to when he was killed.
Pops is PASSIONATE about Billie and Finneas and I love that for him 😌 They are true artists tbh 🙌
THURSDAY ECHOES OF SILENCE NEXT CONNOR (PREFERABLY IN THE SAME VIDEO)
YES IVE BEEN SAYINGGGG
been waiting for this oneeeeee. billie is my all time fav artist and its been almost 5 years since this album came out and every time I listen to billie I am in constant aw at this album. they're amazing
Ive seen Billie live twice and she literally can get everyone to jump to any song of hers, that's how good her performance is.
This is such a masterpiece! Some insight: yes Finneas sings backing vocals on when the party is over. He just recently started to sing them at the shows as well, he did not use to. If you check out their show in Paris Rock en Seine you'll hear it. My strange addiction she incorparated these samples as she just looooves the office so much, there is a video of Rainn Wilson quizzing her on the Office. She was also on the office ladies podcast. For seeing even more how they recorded the album and some thoughts behind it i would recommend watchibg her documentary the world's a little blurry. It s so cool to see how they wrote and recorded this album in Finneas little bedroom, just sitting on a bed.
More than this. The backing song is based on the Michael Scarn Dance. If they didn't directly sample it, she recreated the song note for note
Boygenius just performed with her the other day! Consisting of Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Phoebe Bridgers the band is a a powerhouse. 100% Recommend The Record!
Thank you guys for doing this, I’ve been subscribed for years and have been waiting for this one. Such a precious album, I love getting to listen through again with your company and commentary, much love guys. Hope Billie gets that poster and Kevin gets that session with Finneas
❤
loved that you guys covered this INSANE album!!!
i cant even begin to explain the connection this album has had from the entirety of middle school up to now in my junior year of high school. this album just holds a special part of me and growing up, i never listened to albums start to finish so to have this be my first at the time was really something special
i love this album so much, i don't think there's been a pop album like this that i've ever listened to more. also, gotta show ur dad the when the partys over mv, billie's expressions in it i feel like highlight her vocal performance even more.
Fun fact:
The beat drops of the chorus in bad guy are actually inspired by the traffic signal voice of Melbourne, Australia.

Absolutely love this reaction to the album. Hope Billie and Finneas see it.
if you guys ever plan on reaction to happier than ever, it really shows her maturing from her debut album and i 100% recommend
This album is perfection. I love that ilomilo is about a game with two little beans named ilo and milo who lose each other and the game is to help them find each other again ❤ HAPPIER THAN EVER IS NEXT TO REVIEW!!!! 😁
I've been waiting so long for a billie album and this video was incredible! I didn't expect them to be so passionate about it and it was really great seing that !
So happy you guys reacted to this , it's one of my favourite albums. I also stalk Finneas and Billie too lol. They are such talented people. Love the channel great video
I love this album so much and "I love you" will always be my favorite song on the album
i just watched the HIT ME HARD AND SOFT reaction and ended up doing a whole marathon of all of your vids, you guys are amazing!!
I don’t know a whole lot about Billie’s music outside of this album but this album had me hooked once I gave it a chance, love every song.. even have it on Vinyl, which I only do for no skip albums
You're dad would absolutely love her second album, love seeing y'all's reactions! Keep it up!
Damn this is such a great record. I remember the first time I heard it. I was walking a friend's dog and choosing what to listen to. there was a lot of new hype about Billie Eilish at the time so I thought I'd listen to her album to see what the fuss was about, I didn't expect to enjoy it. It floored me on first listen. She's one of my favourite artists of all time now
i've been waiting for you guys to listen to this album for so long!! i'm so glad you finally did. you should definitely listen to happier than ever soon too.
I was waiting for this one! She's my favorite artist ever. Both, Billie and Fineas are truly an unbeatable duo. They are genius ❤
Definitely need to do Happier Than Ever next
Love this album, glad you guys got to listen to it together
one of my favorite albums of all time, thank you for sharing my enthusiasm 🙏🙏
Ive listened to this album since release and it never fails to amaze me. Love the reaction!
I respects y’all’s grind. I don’t think everyone knows how much work goes into each episode no matter how much fun you’re having. Keep going 🤙🏾
❤
Hey Kevin, the melody from Bury a Friend probably reminded you of ''People Are Strange'' by The Doors, it's very similar, but still different. Can't think of other song
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought this! 🤣
this just NEEDS headphones. I hear so many new little peices of it everytime I listen
I’m with you. Listen before I go is my favorite track on the album. Gives me goosebumps each time
This is my favorite album of all time! It got me through so much when it came out!
The bing bong sample your dad was talking about is in 'Therefore I Am'
I was just appreciating this album again. It is truly a masterpiece ❤. Thanks for the reaction!!
22:40 the synth bass is very simillar to the one that agent Scarn dances to in 'Threat Level Midnight'
Love Billie!!! Saw her perform recently in England, Leeds with my girlfriend. She was incredible!
Great review, still one of the best albums I have ever heard. Relisten this often and for good reason, Billie and Finneas are not your average pop hype but true musical geniuses.
Production on this is absolutely outstanding. I definitely spun this one for a few years nonstop.
I love watching your guys reaction. It makes me happy to see it as I can’t do the same with my Dad anymore. His passing recently a couple months ago came as a surprise and I used to love showing him music and he would love hearing it. This takes me back to those moments in an endearing way and for that I appreciate you two ❤️
❤ sending our condolences to you and your family ❤️
And now the newest album! It's so brilliant!
Your mom bringing you a bangin looking latte in the middle of this just made me appreciate you guys and this channel even more !!!
My father (59) and I (29) are both huge Billie fans and sometimes we listen to her songs together and talk about them like this. Really fun to see this reflected in another father and their kid. I totally emailed him this video.
‘i love you’ has to be one of my favorite songs, so beautiful 🩷🩷
Love Billie and Finneas 💚💜 thanks for reviewing it!
In my honest opinion, this album really shifted the trajectory of music. It pushed the boundaries and opened up a whole new sound of "pop" music. Probably will always rank in top albums of all time for me.
Then you were new to music... Lana del rey,Lorde, Melanie Martinez all had similar style and they've done it earlier,not trying to take away Billie's credits,but... You should also not takeaway others.
@user-xv9rf2ll3m I wouldn't compare Lana, or Lorde, to Billie. Stylistically, that's like comparing apples to oranges. You could make a case for Melanie, but she never achieved the impact I would say Billie had.
YES
can you name some albums? cause i honestly dont hear it, pop is as bland as ever
@gilltimmerman1333 i've been really loving carly rae jepsen recently, you should check her new stuff out!
I’m always eyeing that room on fire vinyl in the back… WHEN WILL U GUYS DO ANOTHER STROKES VID!!!
been waiting on yall to do a billie album!! one of my favs
Love this so much!! Hope to see you guys eventually cover Happier Then Ever :)
FINALLY SOME BILLIE EILISH IVE BEEN ASKING FOR MOOOOONTHS.
I love your commentary on this album. I like your format of your views/commentary after every song, and I was happy to see you both not just listening but also enjoying the songs. Billie and Finneas make such a wonderful team and they truly compliment each other musically. Plus, I love the close relationship they have.
I did hear them say in an interview that the knife (or sword) sound was derived from one day when they heard their Dad sharpening a knife in the kitchen and they thought it sounded so cool, (Which, it does!) so they wanted to use that sound in one of their songs. They're so exceptionally good at choosing sounds, words, etc, and knowing exactly where to put them. I'm amazed by them.
Thank you for your review, I really enjoyed it.
I do hope one day Billie watches this and you get to give her that poster. That's very sweet of you. 💖
any song from this album is a whole different experience live if anyone is blessed enough to see her and finneas. i don’t listen to her as often but anytime i’ve seen her, its an outer body experience.
It’s only appropriate to listen to happier than ever with your dad now! ❤️❤️❤️
maybe even dsam ☺️
