Billie Eilish has opened up about her hesitation to allow cameras behind the scenes for her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour documentary.

During her appearance at CinemaCon, the songstress revealed that she initially wasn’t convinced the idea was necessary.

The What was i made for? singer admitted that her long exposure to the public eye since her early teens made her more reserved about sharing personal moments again.

She said, “I kind of was like, I don't want to make a documentary, I don't want to make another, you know. Also, I think because I've been so seen for my entire, like, teenage years, since I was about 13, and I've been so open for so long, I think over the years I've gotten a little bit more guarded, or just trying to not maybe give so much.”

She went on to add, “And then, yeah, it was like, on the day, it became so clear that it was actually such an important part of my tour, which is being in the green room and getting ready for the show, and the actual experience leading up to the show, and he really saw that.”

Moreover, she noted, “And I really appreciate Jim for pushing that, and being like, no, I believe in this, and it's going to be really amazing, people are going to love it. Because I kind of had that feeling of like, nobody's going to care.”

Meanwhile, the concert film Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) is slated for release in theatres on May 8, 2026.
