Billie Eilish recently revealed the intense process behind the underwater photoshoot for her latest album artwork, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

The Grammy-winning singer described how she was submerged in a 10-foot-deep tank with a weight strapped to her for six hours.

Eilish, who didn’t have a nose plug during the shoot, discussed the album’s themes of existential unease and body image, calling it her most genuine work.

The cover art, shot underwater, reflects her inspiration for optical illusion visuals. The album has received a five-star review, with critics praising Eilish’s exploration of her public image and fan culture.
