Through the next 4 tracks, we're slowly brought up with tempo and happy vibes to the peak payoff of the album, Happier than Ever, the title track. In Robert Christgau's opinion, Eilish's songwriting had inspired Finneas to devise a sound for the album that is "calmer and less sprightly" than her earlier breakthrough work.

The song met with a positive critical reception and, commercially, became the biggest single of Happier Than Ever.

Your Power kind of caught me off guard with its subject matter, as it felt like it came very out of the blue and didn't match at all with the slightly amateur-ish acoustic guitar backing track. The album closes with "Male Fantasy", a slow-tempo ballad that finds Billie reflecting on relationships and sexual growth.

I am really looking forward to listening to more Billie Eilish in the future, because this album is great. The connecting bridge intro of Getting Older and Didn't Change My Number updates the listener into Billie's current mental state and gives context for the rest of the album. The following month, the artist was performing a double duty in Saturday Night Live of the show's host and musical guest, in addition to various sketches, she performed "Happier Than Ever" and "Male Fantasy" in a scenery nodding to the tracks' music videos. On July 22, 2021, Eilish teased a concert film that featured performances of all 16 tracks from the album, set for an exclusive release to Disney+ on September 3, 2021. Eilish announced that she would embark on a world tour in support of Happier Than Ever, through a video released on her YouTube channel, on May 21.The song was met with widespread critical acclaim, topping Harper's Bazaar 's best songs of 2021 list. Here's an album I listened to a while ago that I didn't appreciate at the time that I can now go back to with a whole new mindset and gain a better appreciation for! She first gained public attention in 2015 with her debut single "Ocean Eyes", written and produced by her brother Finneas O'Connell, with whom she collaborates on music and live shows. By the time I got to Lost Cause, this album that I had put in the background while doing my homework had quickly taken my full attention, as Billie's voice, the lyrics, and production were all so addicting to listen to. Re the review that complains about this record trending over the Harrison reissue, I'm pretty sure this is for reviews of this pressing of the album, not rants about what works of music deserve to be trending based on their status in the pop music canon.
