At this year’s Coachella, Billie not only threw a surprise performance at the Do LaB stage but also treated fans to a preview of some tracks from her forthcoming album.
She revealed the names of the 10 new songs in a mid-April post, adding to the excitement surrounding her artistic evolution.

“I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence," she shared candidly, acknowledging that she had inadvertently "come out" during the interview.
Billie's presence at Coachella was also marked by a tender moment captured by fans, where she was seen sharing a kiss with influencer Quenlin Blackwell, highlighting her comfort with public expressions of affection.
Further delving into her personal journey, Billie graced the cover of Rolling Stone, where she described her upcoming album as a reintroduction to her fans.

"I feel like this album is me," Billie told Rolling Stone. "It’s not a character. It feels like the 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' version of me. It feels like my youth and who I was as a kid."
Choosing the album title, Hit Me Hard and Soft, Billie felt it perfectly captured the dual nature of her music's impact, encapsulating the complex emotions her songs evoke.
"It’s an impossible request: You can’t be hit hard and soft. You can’t do anything hard and soft at the same time," she explained.
