Billie Eilish has said her next album never would've happened had the Covid-19 pandemic not happened as it caused a changed in her mindset. 

Teasing the follow-up to her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Grammy-winner Eilish said while she would have made "something" this year, it wouldn’t be the same as the album she has recorded. 

"I feel good. I'm very, very happy with where I'm at in making music," she told Zane Lowe’s Apple Music podcast. 

"I can't f****** wait for people to hear this album that we're working on. It's like, oh my God." 

Speaking about 2020 as a whole, Eilish said, "This year has sucked for a lot of people, and as much as I wished that I had been able to have the year I was planning on having and tour and blah, blah, blah, we would never have made this album. 

"I mean, we would have made something, but it would have been completely different. It's not like we're making songs about quarantine, we're just in a different mindset than we would be otherwise. And that's just how everything is. 

"It's the butterfly effect. It's like if you hadn't done this three years ago, maybe you wouldn't be doing this three years later. It's just the way that it is." 

The 18-year-old star labelled the year as a "blessing and a curse." 

She added: "So it's been a blessing, huge blessing and a curse, but I'm really, really happy that we've been able to make the things that we're making. And I can't wait for you to hear this s***. I can't wait to have the world hear. I'm very excited and hopeful for the future."
