“I don’t want this book to feel like a chore,” Eilish writes in the intro. “I want it to feel like a photo book you might have of yourself.”

Eilish has become one of the biggest stars to emerge since the release of her debut single, “Ocean Eyes,” in 2015 and continues to shatter the ceiling of music with her genre-defying sound. Fast-forward from her humble breakout to 2019 when Eilish’s album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart in the US and seventeen additional countries. It was also the most-streamed album of the year. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? was written, produced, and recorded entirely by Eilish and brother Finneas in their childhood home in Los Angeles. Eilish went on to make history as the youngest artist to receive nominations and win in all the major categories at the Sixty-Second Grammy Awards, receiving awards for Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album. Eilish is also the youngest artist to write and record an official James Bond theme song, “No Time To Die,” which debuted in February and will be featured in the newest 007 film series installment in October.
