Hidden messages and color hints

Vinyl owners of Hit Me Hard and Soft discovered an ambiguous statement after the credits: “But when can I hear the next one?” This has led to speculation about a second album for fans. Moreover, Eilish strategically employs colors (blue, and red) in various aspects of her music photoshoots. These colors are reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s two-tone palette during her surprise album roll-outs.

Fans have noted that Hit Me Hard and Soft could be just ‘blue’, leaving room for a possible follow-up ‘red’ record. Also, this aligns with Eilish’s famous synesthesia where she associates sounds with colors. More so, In her debut album, Billie referenced the blue and red characters from the Ilomilo video game which adds weight to the color theory.
