Billie Eilish's new album ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ drops today, but some fans are convinced there's more to come. While some were disappointed by the 10-track record length, a hidden message and Eilish's use of color have fueled speculation of a second album.

Vinyl owners noticed Eilish’s cryptic question after the credits, “But when can I hear the next one?” Additionally, fans noticed Eilish's use of both blue and red throughout the album's rollout – mirroring the two-toned color scheme of Taylor Swift's surprise album.

Fans believe ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ is the ‘blue’ half of a double album, with a surprise ‘red’ record on the way.

Some users online are referencing Eilish's synesthesia where she associates colors with sounds and the blue-red characters in the ‘ilomilo’ video game, referenced in her debut album.
