"This is about many different situations that we’ve all either witnessed or experienced. i hope this can inspire change. try not to abuse your power."

"Your Power" will appear on Eilish's upcoming sophomore album Happier Than Ever, along with her 2020 singles “My Future” and “Therefore I Am.” The anticipated new album is slated for a July 31 release.
