2 album covers in our archive
Billie Eilish is featured in Behind the Covers' archive with 2 album covers spanning the 2020s and 2010s. Released across Darkroom/Interscope Records and Darkroom / Interscope Records labels, the artwork sits in the pop tradition. Each cover is documented in our archive with design notes covering photography, underwater, minimalist, portrait. Below you'll find the full story behind each Billie Eilish cover — designers, photographers, label history, and the visual choices that defined the release.
Shot entirely underwater in a 20x20x10 foot heated tank, the cover depicts Eilish submerged in deep blue water, creating visual tension between soft intimacy and hard environment. The seven-hour shoot required Eilish to hold her breath for extended periods without breathing equipment.
On her 17th birthday, Billie Eilish spent twelve hours becoming a nightmare. The cover of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? shows her perched on a white bed, pupils bleached out, grinning into the dark. Every detail traces back to sketches she drew herself, chasing night terrors, lucid dreams, and a horror-movie chill.
