JAKARTA - Billie Eilish is outspoken about what changes in the creative process when he works on his third album.

Eilish spoke in a new episode of Dua Lipa's At Your Service podcast when she explained the "big jump" between ages 18 and 21, and how she should convince herself she didn't "loss it".

Eilish's debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? was released in 2019, followed by Happier Than Ever two years later. Now, he is working on his third album.

Confirming in November last year, Eilish and her sister and collaborator Finneas have started the process of making a new album.

Everything is different, he said about the process of making music. I tried to compare it recently, just because I was used to doing it in a different way. And trying to be like, 'It's okay to do that. I'm okay. I can still do that; I'm still capable of it.'

The singer also reflected on the change from making music at her childhood home to working in Finneas' underground studio for the album Happier Than Ever, feeling like the two have "discovered" their process after the last album.

"We were like, 'We've been thinking about everything, this is the way we've been doing from now on, and it's working really well'," Eilish said. And, you know, touring for a year and a half, then going back there, and getting much older and not even much older, but again, the jump between 18 and 21 is a big leap. Not just mentally and physically, and realistically. This is completely different.

Eilish continued that she had tried to "convince herself that it was okay and I didn't lose it. It's just different".

He described exactly what changed by explaining: The way I was in the room was different, my voice has really changed since then... The thing that changed voice was a journey! It's all shocking.

"I'm getting more and more thinking, 'OK, this is just a change and I'm thinking about it.' It's hard to accept change, it's hard to forget, 'But I've been doing it this way for so long, and it worked really well! Now, you can't anymore.'

Eilish also said she appreciates the 'threat' of her younger self, adding: When you're a teenager and most of your career is based on the fact that you're young, and then you get older and people get used to it. You're young, even difficult for you.

But no one has told me that when you grow up, you no longer recognize your younger self.
