Don't Smile at Me (stylized as dont smile at me) is the debut extended play by American singer Billie Eilish. Darkroom and Interscope Records released it on August 11, 2017. Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell wrote most of the material on the EP and were solely responsible for its production. It is an electropop record with elements of R&B and jazz.
The release of seven singles, from 2016 to 2018 supported Don't Smile at Me. "Ocean Eyes" (2016) and "Idontwannabeyouanymore" (2017) were both sleeper hits, charting in the top 100 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart. "Bellyache" (2017) reached the top five on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart for a milestone of 32 weeks, while "Copycat" (2017) peaked at number 12 on the chart. Eilish embarked on the Don't Smile at Me Tour and Where's My Mind Tour in 2017 and 2018, respectively, to promote the EP further.
The EP received generally favorable reviews from music critics, with many praising the music and Eilish's vocals. "Hostage" (2017) received a nomination for Best Cinematography at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. Don't Smile at Me was commercially successful, reaching number 14 on the US Billboard 200 and number 12 on the UK Albums Chart. It entered the top 10 in many other countries, including Australia and Ireland.
Re-issued under the title of Don't Smile at Me: December reissue, the EP included a previously released single, "&Burn" (2017) with Vince Staples. The song was certified gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Don't Smile at Me: Expanded edition was released later. It includes two previously released singles, "Lovely" (2018) with Khalid and "Bitches Broken Hearts" (2018). "Lovely" was commercially successful, peaking at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 47 on the UK Singles Chart. "Bitches Broken Hearts" was certified platinum in the US and Canada by the RIAA and Music Canada (MC), respectively.
Background[]
In July 2017, Eilish told Billboard that "each track off Don't Smile at Me will follow a distinct plot". She explained, "The only tie-together? I'm pretty sure I don’t have any songs that are about how much I love someone. They're all either about like, 'I hate you,' or 'you make me hate me'."'[1]
Eilish spoke about the EP's title: "My EP is called dont smile at me for a lot of reasons, but one of them would be when [someone tells you], 'Smile. Why aren't you smiling? It's so much more beautiful when you smile.' Everyone's taught to smile. Girls are like, 'Look happy, look like you're having fun!' I'm not gonna look like anybody except what I am. I want to impress myself."[2] Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell wrote most of the material for Don't Smile at Me. Finneas produced the EP in its entirety. Studio personnel John Greenham and Rob Kinelski handled the mastering and mixing, respectively.[3]
Music and lyrics[]
Don't Smile at Me is primarily an electropop record[2] with R&B and jazz influences.[4] The EP opens with "Copycat", a hip hop-influenced electronica and pop track.[5][6][1] It features minimalist production consisting of a bass guitar and piano.[1] The song is Eilish's response to people she felt kept copying everything she was doing.[7] The following track, "Idontwannabeyouanymore", is a pop and R&B song, with a jazz and neo soul-influenced melody.[8][9][10] The track features Eilish singing about self-doubt and low self-esteem.[11] According to Baeble Music's Olivia Lewis, "My Boy" begins with a "chiller, jazz-like vibe, and a layer of darkness and mystery".[12] It features hip hop-influenced production, using a hi-hat and keyboard.[13] Musically, the track is a pop song.[12]
With "Watch", described as a pop ballad,[8][14] Eilish sends a message to her former lover, saying she is leaving their toxic relationship.[13] The track begins with the sound of a match strike that continues throughout the song as its main beat.[13] "Party Favor" is a folk track with Eilish playing the ukulele.[15] The song addresses Eilish's break up with her boyfriend on his birthday with a phone call.[13] "Bellyache" is a mid-tempo electropop and R&B song[16][17] with influences of hip hop, deep house and Latin macabre in its instrumentation.[18][19][20] The song's lyrics were written from the perspective of a psychopath who kills those close to her, including her friends and lover.[19]
"Ocean Eyes" is a dream pop,[2] pop,[21] synth-pop,[22] indie pop[23] and R&B[23] ballad.[24] The song features percussion, bass guitar and a synthesizer.[25][26] "Ocean Eyes" is a love letter to Eilish's crush with her lover's "ocean" eyes.[13] Don't Smile at Me closes with "Hostage", a stripped-down pop track.[13][27] Lyrically, the track is about an intense love that Eilish feels for someone and an overwhelming desire she has for them.[13] The December re-issue of the EP contains one additional track; "&Burn" with Vince Staples——a hip hop-influenced pop track.[28] "[B]ooming kick drums" and "velvety keys" support the track.[29] Like "Watch", the song starts with the sound of a match striking and uses it for the main beat.[13] When Eilish and Finneas were recording the song, it was titled "Watch & Burn".[30][31] The track later became two separate songs—"Watch" and "&Burn".[32]
The expanded edition of Don't Smile at Me contains two extra tracks. "Lovely", featuring Khalid, is a chamber pop-based stripped back ballad.[33][34] The track features minimalist production consisting of a piano, violin strings provided by Madison Leinster, and percussion,[34][35] as Eilish and Khalid sing about the feeling of being trapped inside of one's own mind.[13] "Bitches Broken Hearts" is an R&B track.[13][36] Emmit Fenn handled additional production of the track, the first song by Eilish to feature production by someone other than her brother.[37] Lyrically, the song delves into the aftermath of a breakup, with Eilish pretending she no longer needs or cares about her former lover.[38]

Don't Smile at Me was met with generally favorable reviews by music critics. Kristin Smith of Plugged In said of the EP, "A fusion of multiple genres, sounds and styles, these nine tracks capture the young singer's undeniably engaging perspective and personality. We hear the honest confessions of a teenager who has known heartbreak, self-loathing and love. Don't Smile at Me is dreamy and depressing, enchanting and haunting. And it warrants both praise and caution."[83] Nicole Almeida of Atwood Magazine wrote Don't Smile at Me was a "powerful declaration", and a "statement coming from the mouth of someone who knows who she is. The title perfectly embodies the strength and ambition of Eilish's debut EP and of Eilish herself as an artist."[8] Robert Christgau, writing for Vice, commended Eilish's "still-fragile melodies and still-pure voice" on the EP, but considered the songwriting and production to be less accomplished than that of her debut single When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?.[82] Tom Hull mentioned that Don't Smile at Me's singles are "more pop", and more "easily distinguished from the filler".[81] Brenton Blanchet of Spin magazine lauded the EP, saying it was the "first sample of what Eilish could create in her bedroom", saying the "airy and atmospheric project showcased pop craft beyond her age".[84]
Commercial performance[]
Don't Smile at Me became a sleeper hit in the US, debuting at number 185 on the US Billboard 200 a month and a half after its release.[85] The EP later broke into the top 100 in the week ending May 31, 2018, its 21st week on the chart, at number 97 with 7,000 album-equivalent units.[86] Don't Smile at Me reached the top 40 of the Billboard 200 in the week ending July 28 at number 38 with 12,000 units, including 10,000 streaming equivalent album units,[86] before peaking at number 14 in its 56th charting week for the issue dated January 26, 2019.[87] As of April 2019, the EP has sold 947,000 album-equivalent units in the US and has also generated more than 1.2 billion on-demand audio streams for its tracks.[88] Don't Smile at Me was more successful outside the United States.
