AceShowbiz - Billie Eilish may be having a special treat in store for her fans with her new album. Prior to the release of "Hit Me Hard and Soft", there has been a speculation that it could be a surprise double album.

SoundCloud recently teased a surprise with "Hit Me Hard and Soft". On Thursday, May 16, just hours before the album was dropped, the streaming service posted a cryptic message on X, formerly known as Twitter, that read, "@billieeilish should we tell them."

When a fan asked SoundCloud, "what y'all cooking?" it cryptically replied, "so much." Another fan then interjected with the speculation as writing, "Double album release."

Many others came with the same guess as one asked, "It's a double isn't it?" Other similar comments read, "DOUBLE ALBUM? RIGHT?" and "DOUBLE ALBUM YES TELL US."

Moreover, the album reportedly has a cheeky nod to her fandom's never-ending demands for her music. According to her fan account on X, the third album has the ending of credits stating the phrase, "but when can I hear the next one."

Billie has not responded to the double album rumors. Should the speculation be true, Billie would not disappoint her fans who have been waiting more than two years for her new album. When she announced that the album would contain just ten songs, fans were hoping for a lengthier tracklist.

After the album was released on midnight Friday, May 17, she took to Instagram to hype it up. "dude 'HIT ME HARD AND SOFT' my third album is f**king out now i don't even know what to SAAYY...," she wrote while sharing some behind-the-scenes footage.

She continued, "@finneas and i put so much into this album and have never ever ever loved something more. we hope you enjoy it so much and i'll see you on the other side EEEEEEEEEEEEEK HMHAS OUT NOW EVERYWHERE LOVE YOU ALL TO DEAAAAATH!!!!"
