* SoundtrackDissonance: "8" sounds cheery but lyrically, it's about someone Billie hurt.

Eilish's music, often described as “noir pop” for its world-weary tone and dark lyrical themes, is a unique brand of {{blues}}-y minimalist [[IndiePop alternative pop]] featuring her signature breathy vocals as well as intricate, subtle sound design. The closest approximate label for this sound that many have taken to is BedroomPop, with Eilish being credited for [[TropeCodifier paving the way for the genre to enter the mainstream]]. Her music is a collaboration with her multi-instrumentalist brother Finneas O’Connell, who handles most of the production.

* SecondBanana: Finneas stays contentedly behind the scenes for the most part, letting Billie be the FaceOfTheBand. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted more recently, though]], as Finneas has released an EP with a charting single and is starting to become recognized by a wider audience as a talented artist in his own right.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Being the TropeCodifier of the quiet, intimate BedroomPop means her output typically averages at the Level 1-2 scale. "Happier Than Ever" is a notable exception, going to Level 5 for its PowerBallad ending.

* AllLowercaseLetters: tends to do this with her songs.
* {{Blues}}: Her music could be considered the genre’s evolution into contemporary pop. Influence is most apparent in tracks like “xanny” and “my boy”.

* GenderFlip: "No Time to Die" sounds like a typical WomanScorned song, but when you watch the movie, it becomes clear that she's singing from the perspective of James Bond himself and his rocky relationships.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Some of her songs portray the person the narrator is talking about as this. Example, from "I didn't change my number":

* NewSoundAlbum: ''Happier than Ever'', mainly for the sheer variety of different styles and sounds on display, as her previous album and ep had a more similar sound to each other with their electronica-embellished modern R&B tunes, Odd Future style hip hop production and some [[emo]]/alternative rock influences added to the mix.

* PrecisionFStrike: As the song "Happier Than Ever" builds its crescendo in the second half, Billie starts adding swear words into the lyrics until she finishes the song by screaming "Just fucking leave me alone!!"

* SampledUp: "GOLDWING" opens with Billie singing the third verse from Music/GustavHolst's ''Hymn to Vena''.

* WhamLine: "Getting Older" starts off with Billie musing about maturing and getting used to dealing with fame and adoring strangers but one line at the end of the first verse rapidly sets in place a darker tone than expected.

* GreenAesop: "all the good girls go to hell" is about climate change.

* TextlessAlbumCover: Both her album and her EP.
