Happier Than Ever는 빌리 아일리시의 사운드적·정서적 깊이를 한층 성장시킨 작품으로, 전 세계 음악 평단으로부터 전반적인 극찬을 받았다. 음악 평론 사이트 메타크리틱에서는 86점을 기록하며 높은 평가를 받았고, 피치포크는 7.6점, 다수의 음악 평론 매체들이 2021년 최고의 앨범 중 하나로 꼽았다. 음악적으로는 전작의 기괴한 느낌의 트랩 기반 사운드에서 벗어나, 다운템포의 일렉팝, 재즈 팝, 보사노바 등 다양한 장르를 결합시켜 미니멀한 편곡과 감정선을 강조하는 트랙을 구성했다. 어쿠스틱 기타와 피아노 중심의 조용한 트랙들이 앨범을 이끌며 전체적으로 어리지만 감성적인 가사와 음악적 성숙이 공존한다는 평가가 많다. 가사에서는 갑작스러운 스타덤, 대중의 시선, 신체 이미지에 대한 사회적 압박, 권력 관계 등 민감하고 현실적인 주제를 솔직하게 풀어내며, 일반적인 10대 팝 스타들과는 다른 차별점을 드러냈다. 평론가들은 빌리가 단순히 1집의 "어두운 콘셉트의 아티스트"를 넘어서, 스타로서의 자아와 본인에 대한 깊은 성찰을 음악으로 풀어낸 점을 높이 평가했다.
15번 트랙 Happier Than Ever(싱글)는 잔잔한 분위기 속에서 중반부 이후 록 사운드로 급격히 전환되며, 그간 No Time To Die를 제외하면 좀처럼 들을 수 없었던 빌리의 격정적인 보컬이 드러나는 곡이다. 감정을 억누르다 터뜨리는 듯한 전개와 폭발적인 감정선이 인상적이며, 많은 팬들 사이에서 "빌리 아일리시 커리어 최고의 곡"으로 자주 언급된다. 곡 전체가 감정의 고조를 따라 유기적으로 흐르며, 빌리의 음악적 스펙트럼과 감정 표현의 정점을 보여주는 곡으로 평가받는다.
NME는 이 앨범을 통해 빌리를 "현 세대의 가장 중요한 팝 아티스트"로 정의하며 5점 만점에 5점을 부여했고, 더 가디언은 “절제된 사운드와 슬픔이 깃든 분위기 속에서도 뛰어난 멜로디와 보컬을 유지한 앨범”이라며 호평했다. 롤링 스톤 역시 "고통스럽고 고백적인 앨범이지만, 진정성 있는 성장의 기록"이라고 평가했다. 반면 일부에서는 트랙 간의 개성적인 사운드 부족과 앨범 중후반부의 몰입도 저하를 지적하기도 했다. The Line of Best Fit, Stereogum 등에서는 비슷한 분위기의 트랙들이 계속 반복되며 흐름이 단조롭게 느껴질 수 있다는 평가를 내렸다.
결론적으로 Happier Than Ever는 상업적 흥행보다는 예술성에 초점을 맞춰 도전을 한 작품으로, 빌리 아일리시가 단순한 팝 스타를 넘어 음악적 깊이를 갖춘 아티스트로 자리매김하는 데 중요한 전환점이 되었다. 실제로 이후 발표된 3집 HIT ME HARD AND SOFT가 1집과 2집의 사운드를 융합한 작품이라는 평을 받으며 또 한 번 극찬을 받았다는 점에서, 이 앨범은 향후 방향성을 제시한 재기의 초석이자 기점으로도 해석된다.
전반적으로 전작 WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?보다 부진하고 있다. 물론 전작이 전 세계적으로 대히트하기는 했다. 하지만 싱글 컷하는 노래들마다 차트인은 꾸준히 하고 있지만 전작 앨범 곡들만큼 롱런하지는 못하고 있다. bad guy와 같은 킬링 싱글이 있는 것도 아니고, 싱글 컷을 공격적으로 하고 있지만 노래들이 전반적으로 너무 전작과 비슷하고 빌리가 매너리즘에 빠진 게 아니냐는 평이 많다. 선공개 싱글 흥행 한정으로 전형적인 소포모어 징크스에 빠진 상태라고 할 수 있다.[2] 빌리가 원래 갖고 있던 독보적인 10대 팝스타로서의 위상도 스포트라이트를 올리비아 로드리고의 SOUR에 빼앗긴 타격이 일정 부분 있는 것으로 보인다.[3]
빌리의 새 남자친구가 인종차별주의자에 LGBT 차별주의자인 것으로 시작된 문제도 한 몫했다. 팬들은 빌리 남친의 행적을 문제 삼으며 헤어질 것을 종용했지만, 빌리는 '빌리 아일리시의 팬덤은 피곤한 스타일'이라고 누가 올린 인스타 글에 좋아요를 누르고 자기 인스타에 '피곤하다'는 게시물을 올리며 대놓고 팬들과 기싸움을 벌였다. 자신들의 말을 무시한 빌리에 분노한 팬들은 빌리 인스타에 빌리를 욕하는 댓글을 쓰며 격분했다. 화가 난 팬들은 빌리가 예전에 틱톡에 올렸던 아시아인 인종차별 영상을 풀며 빌리도 자신의 남친과 다를 바 없는 인종차별주의자라고 비난했다. 사태가 점점 커지자 빌리는 결국 자기 인스타에 사과문을 올렸고, 사태는 잘 마무리 되었다.
빌보드 200(앨범 차트)에서 1위로 데뷔 238,000 유닛을 기록했고, 동명의 싱글은 HOT 100(싱글 차트)에서 11위로 데뷔하며 순항하고 있다. 2주차에는 13위를 기록했다. 앨범은 2주차에는 8만 5천장이 팔리며 2주 연속 1위를 차지했다. 2주차까지 누적 판매량은 32만 3000장이다. 앨범 판매는 호조이지만 싱글들은 여전히 차트에서 크게는 힘을 못 쓰고 있다.[4] 리드 싱글 Happier Than Ever가 스트리밍 실적은 그럭저럭 나오고 있지만[5] 곡의 길이가 5분에 육박하고 라디오 친화적인 노래[6]가 아니어서 top 10 진입은 실패했다. 앞으로 꾸준히 차트인을 지속할 수 있을지 주목해볼만 하다. 이후 라디오용 Edit으로 전반부를 띡 자른 버전을 내 놓았다.
3주차에는 도자 캣의 'Planet Her'에 1위를 내줄 거란 예측이 떴으나 1000유닛 차이로 1위를 지켰다. 테일러 스위프트의 evermore 이후 처음으로 3주 이상 빌보드 앨범 차트 1위를 차지한 여성 아티스트 앨범이다. 3주차에는 6만장을 팔아 누적 판매량은 38만 3000장이다. 앨범 흥행은 대부분 상위권에서 롱런할 것이라 예측하고 있는 상황이다. 4주차에는 바이닐 앨범을 출시해 14만장 이상 판매한 올리비아 로드리고의 SOUR에 1위를 넘겨줬다. 4만 9000장을 팔며 전주보다 5위 하락한 6위를 기록했다.
2022년 그래미 어워드에서 이 앨범으로 올해의 앨범상과 Best Pop Vocal Album에, 싱글 Happier Than Ever로 올해의 레코드상, 올해의 노래상, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Music Video에, 디즈니 플러스에서 공개한 Happier than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles로 Best Music Film에 본상 3개를 포함 총 7개의 노미네이션을 받았다.
비록 상업적으로는 비교적 부진했지만, 뛰어난 음악성을 인정받아 빌리가 그동안 해오던 이모(emo) 음악을 벗어던지고 성인으로 거듭나는 성인식을 열어준 동시에 엄청나게 월드와이드한 인기를 누리지는 못했으나 적어도 빌리가 원 히트 원더가 되는 것만은 면하게 해준 앨범이라 할 수 있다.
I'm getting older, I think I'm aging well I wish someone had told me I'd be doing this by myself There's reasons that I'm thankful, there's a lot I'm grateful for But it's different when a stranger's always waiting at your door Which is ironic 'cause the strangers seem to want me more Than anyone before (anyone before) Too bad they're usually deranged
Last week, I realized I crave pity When I retell a story, I make everything sound worse Can't shake the feeling that I'm just bad at healing And maybe that's the reason every sentence sounds rehearsed Which is ironic because when I wasn't honest, I was still being ignored (Lying for attention just to get neglection) Now we're estranged

You better keep your head down-down Da-da-down-down, da-da-down-down Better keep your head down-down Da-da-down-down, da-da-down-down

Something's in the air right now Like I'm losing track of time Like I don't really care right now, but maybe that's fine You weren't even there that day I was waitin' on you I wondered if you aware that day was the last straw for me and I know
I sent you flowers Did you even care? You ran the shower and left them by the stairs Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay, ay
Thought you had your shit together, but damn, I was wrong You ain't nothin' but a lost cause And this ain't nothin' like it once was I know you think you're such an outlaw But you got no job You ain't nothin' but a lost cause And this ain't nothin' like it oncе was I know you think you're such an outlaw But you got no job
I used to think you were shy But maybe you just had nothing on your mind Maybe you were thinkin' 'bout yourself all the time I used to wish you were mine But that was way before I realized Someone like you would always be so easy to find So easy (so easy) He-hee, mm-mm-mm, mm
Gave me no flowers Wish I didn't care You'd been gone for hours Could be anywhere Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

What did I tell you? Don't get complacent It's time to face it now, na-na, na-na, na-na What did I tell you? Don't get complacent It's time to face it now, na-na-na
I don't want it And I don't want to want you But in my dreams I seem to be more honest And I must admit, you've been in quite a few
Halley's Comet Comes around more than I do But you're all it takes for me to break a promise Silly me to fall in love with you
I haven't slept since Sunday Midnight for me is 3:00 a.m. for you But my sleepless nights are better With you than nights could ever be alone, ooh-ooh-ooh I was good at feeling nothing, now I'm hopeless What a drag to love you like I do, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
I've been loved before, but right now in this moment I feel more and more like I was made for you
For you
I'm sitting in my brother's room Haven't slept in a week or two, or two I think I might have fallen in love What am I to do?
Some people hate what I wear Some people praise it Some people use it to shame others Some people use it to shame me
But I feel you watching
Always And nothing I do goes unseen So while I feel your stares Your disapproval Or your sigh of relief If I lived by them I'd never be able to move
Would you like me to be smaller, weaker, softer, taller? Would you like me to be quiet? Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest? Am I my stomach? My hips? The body I was born with Is it not what you wanted?
If I wear what is comfortable I am not a woman If I shed the layers I'm a slut Though you've never seen my body You still judge it And judge me for it Why?
We make assumptions about people Based on their size We decide who they are We decide what they're worth If I wear more If I wear less Who decides what that makes me? What that means? Is my value based only on your perception? Or is your opinion of me Not my responsibility?
I don't really even know how it happened I started talkin', they started laughin' I don't really even know how it happened I started watchin' them photographin' I don't really (I don't really) how it happened Instead of stoppin', they still were flashin' (I don't really) I started walkin' (I don't really), gave no reaction (No reaction)
I'm overheated, can't be defeated Can't be deleted, can't un-believe it I'm overheated, can't be defeated Can't be deleted, can't be repeated I'm overheated I'm overheated
I don't really wanna know why you went there (why you went there) I kinda don't care (kinda don't care), you wanna kill me (you wanna kill me) You wanna hurt me (mm), stop bein' flirty It's kinda workin' Did you really think this is the right thing to do? (Is it news? News to who?) That I really looked just like the rest of you, mm
I'm overheated, can't be defeated Can't be deleted, can't un-believe it I'm overheated, can't be defeated Can't be deleted, can't be repeated I'm overheated
And everybody said it was a let down I was only built like everybody else now But I didn't get a surgery to help out 'Cause I'm not about to redesign myself now, am I? (Am I?) Am I? All these other inanimate bitches It's none of my business But don't you get sick of Posin' for pictures with that plastic body? Man
I'm overheated, can't be defeated Can't be deleted, can't un-believe it I'm overheated, can't be defeated Can't be deleted, can't be repeated I'm overheated
Everybody dies, surprise, surprise We tell each other lies, sometimes, we try To make it feel like we might be right We might not be alone
Be alone
"Everybody dies", that's what they say And maybe in a couple hundred years They'll find another way I just wonder why you'd wanna stay If everybody goes You'd still be alone
I don't wanna cry, some days I do But not about you It's just a lot to think about the world I'm used to The one I can't get back At least not for a while I sure have a knack for seeing life more like a child It's not my fault, it's not so wrong to wonder why Everybody dies And when will I?
You oughta know That even when it's time You might not wanna go But it's okay to cry And it's alright to fold But you are not alone You are not unknown
Try not to abuse your power I know we didn't choose to change You might not wanna lose your power But having it's so strange
She said you were a hero, you played the part But you ruined her in a year, don't act like it was hard And you swear you didn't know (didn't know) No wonder why you didn't ask She was sleeping in your clothes (in your clothes) But now she's got to get to class
How dare you? And how could you? Will you only feel bad when they find out? If you could take it all back, would you?
Try not to abuse your power I know we didn't choose to change You might not wanna lose your power But having it's so strange
I thought that I was special, you made me feel Like it was my fault you were the devil, lost your appeal Does it keep you in control? (In control) For you to keep her in a cage? And you swear you didn't know (didn't know) You said you thought she was your age
How dare you? And how could you? Will you only feel bad if it turns out That they kill your contract? Would you?
Try not to abuse your power I know we didn't choose to change You might not wanna lose your power But power isn't pain
Did you think I'd show up in a limousine? No Had to save my money for security Got a stalker walking up and down the street Says he's Satan and he'd like to meet
I bought a secret house when I was 17 Haven't had a party since I got the keys Had a pretty boy over, but he couldn't stay On his way out, made him sign an NDA
Yeah, I made him sign an NDA Once was good enough 'Cause I don't want him having shit to say
You couldn't save me, but you can't let me go, oh, no I can crave you, but you don't need to know
30 Under 30 for another year I can barely go outside, I think I hate it here Maybe I should think about a new career Somewhere in Kauai where I can disappear
I've been having fun, getting older now Didn't change my number, made him shut his mouth At least I gave him something he can cry about I thought about my future, but I want it now
Want it now You can't give me up
You couldn't save me, but you can't let me go, oh, no I can crave you, but you don't need to know
Did I take it too far? Now I know what you are You hit me so hard I saw stars Think I took it too far When I sold you my heart How'd it get so dark? I saw stars Stars
I'm not your friend or anything, damn You think that you're the man I think, therefore, I am I'm not your friend or anything, damn You think that you're the man I think, therefore, I am
Stop, what the hell are you talking about? Ha Get my pretty name outta your mouth We are not the same with or without Don't talk 'bout me like how you might know how I feel Top of the world, but your world isn't real Your world's an ideal
So go have fun I really couldn't care less And you can give 'em my best, but just know
I'm not your friend or anything, damn You think that you're the man I think, therefore, I am I'm not your friend or anything, damn You think that you're the man I think, therefore, I am
I don't want press to put your name next to mine We're on different lines, so I Wanna be nice enough, they don't call my bluff 'Cause I hate to find Articles, articles, articles Rather you remain unremarkable Got a lotta interviews, interviews, interviews When they say your name, I just act confused
Did you have fun? I really couldn't care less And you can give 'em my best, but just know

When I'm away from you 너랑 같이 있지 않을 때 I'm happier than ever 난 그 어느 때보다 행복해 Wish I could explain it better 더 잘 설명하고 싶지만 I wish it wasn't true 사실이 아니었음 바라기도 해
Give me a day or two 하루 이틀 정도 줘 To think of something clever 좋은 생각을 할 수 있게 To write myself a letter 나 자신에게 편지를 쓰게 To tell me what to do 나한테 뭘 해야 할지 알려주게 Do you read my interviews? 내 인터뷰는 읽니? Or do you skip my avenue? 아니면 건너뛰니? When you said you were passing through 네가 지나가고 있었다고 했을 때 Was I even on your way? 내가 거기 있었긴 한 거야?

You call me again, drunk in your Benz 넌 벤츠에서 술에 취한 채 내게 다시 전화해 Driving home under the influence 그 상태로 집에 운전해 오면서 You scared me to death, but I'm wasting my breath 넌 날 죽도록 무섭게 했지만 난 또 헛수고를 하고 있어 'Cause you only listen to your fucking friends 넌 네 좆같은 친구들 말만 들으니까 I don't relate to you 난 너한테 공감 못 해주겠어 I don't relate to you, no 너한테 공감 못 해주겠어, 절대 'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty 나라면 이렇게 날 거지같이 다루지 않을 테니까 You make me hate this city 너 때문에 이 도시가 싫어졌어

I got a call from a girl I used to know We were inseparable years ago Thought we'd get along but it wasn't so And it's all I think about when I'm behind the wheel I worry this is how I'm always gonna feel But nothing lasts, I know the deal
But I loved you then and I love you now And I don't know how Guess it's hard to know when nobody else comes around If I'm getting over you Or just pretending to Be alright, convince myself I hate you
Can't get over you No matter what I do I know I should but I could never hate you

[1]재즈로 연결되지만, 별개로 존재하는 장르이다. 1960년대에 등장했으며 재즈, 전통 팝(트레디셔널 팝), 로큰롤에 기원을 두는 재즈의 퓨전 장르로, 기존의 재즈 음악처럼 즉흥적이지 않지만, 더 상업적이고 대중 친화적인 멜로디가 특징이다.[2] 물론 이러한 의견은 앨범 공개 이후 앨범 단위로써 보여준 훌륭한 음악성으로 상당수 사라졌다.[3] 빌리는 01년생이라 한국식 세는 나이로는 이미 20대이지만, 12월생이라 아직 만 나이로는 19세이다. 사실 미국에서 눈에 띄는 10대 가수가 빌리만 있는 건 당연히 아니지만, 빌보드 1위까지 기록하고 전 세계적으로 파급력을 일으킨 하이틴 스타는 사실상 빌리가 유일하고 독보적이었었다. 물론 현재도 건재한건 사실이나 독보적이진 않게 되었다는 것이 중론.[4] 1주차에 핫100 70~90위권으로 진입해 NDA와 Happier Than Ever을 제외하곤 모두 2주차에 100위권 밖으로 밀려났다(...)[5] 스포티파이, 애플뮤직에서 모두 10위권 안에서 유지하고 있다.[6] 라디오 실적이 거의 없는 수준이다.
