Though one would like to relish this moment exclusively for oneself, it appears that the real reason behind it could be an upcoming album. Upon being added to Eilish's close friends, fans received the notification for a recent story uploaded by the Ocean Eyes singer.

Eilish previously hinted at a third studio album, saying that it had been “mastered” in February via an Instagram post. While neither a title nor a tracklist has been revealed for her supposed upcoming album, Eilish's profile and cover pictures across various social media platforms, including Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, feature a striking solid blue-coloured background.

Prior to her cryptic ‘close friends’ story, the Lovely singer also shared a picture on her general Instagram story of a question that reads, “Do you know how to bend?” written in blue across a black background.
