Guitar Songs is the second extended play by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish. It was released through download and streaming services on July 21, 2022. Its release came as a surprise, a decision Eilish and her co-writer Finneas O'Connell (both pictured) made because she wanted to share new music to her fans as soon as she could. Guitar Songs consists of two realist sentimental ballads, combining simple acoustic guitars that emphasize Eilish's soft vocal performance with personal lyrics that derive from contemporary life events. "The 30th", one of the tracks, was titled for the day of a friend's near-death car crash—November 30, 2021. In the lyrics, Eilish ponders over whether the friend would have survived had some circumstances in the accident were different. The other track, "TV", discusses eating disorders, disillusionment, and a desire for numbness to distract oneself from pressing world issues. It references the June 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade.
