American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish released her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, on May 17, 2024. Drawing from her experiences with relationships, identity, body image, and the pressures of fame, the album was developed as a cohesive full-length project and released without any advance singles. It was widely acclaimed by music critics for its intimate lyricism, atmospheric production, and dynamic shifts between delicate balladry, alternative pop, electronic music, and orchestral arrangements. In support of the album, Eilish embarked on her seventh headlining concert tour, Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, from September 2024 to November 2025.
In July 2025, during one of Eilish's shows at Co-op Live in Manchester, she announced that the concert was being filmed for a secret 3D project with director James Cameron. In November 2025, the project was revealed to be a concert film documenting the tour, with Eilish and Cameron as co-directors. Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) is Eilish's third concert film after Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles (2021), directed by Robert Rodriguez and Patrick Osborne, and Billie Eilish: Live at the O2 (2022), directed by Sam Wrench. Produced by Darkroom Records, Interscope Films, and Lightstorm Earth, the film utilized virtual reality 3D technology, via a partnership with Meta Platforms and Cameron's Lightstorm Vision, for a release on Meta Quest headsets.
