Don't Smile at Me is her debut EP with nine songs. The track list including some of her most popular songs like "idontwannabeyouanymore" and "Ocean Eyes." My personal favorite off the EP is the song "Hostage", as I love the tone and lyrics the song has. Every song off the EP has over ten million streams on Spotify.

One of her more popular songs off Don't Smile at Me is "idontwannabeyouanymore." This song tells about how someone could almost hate themselves to the point they don't wanna be themselves anymore and want to be a different person. She mentions how she views "perfect" people and how she craves to be like that.

Another popular song of Billie's is "Copycat," which is about someone who copies everything that she does and her feelings about it.

As she gained popularity, she was able to collaborate with Vince Staples and recreate one of her songs "Burn," which the collaborated version is now called &burn to differentiate the two songs.

On March 30th, 2018, Billie released a single titled "bitches broken hearts." The song was originally released on her Soundcloud in November 2017, but she decided to publish it to all music platforms giving the song a wider audience and the song now has almost 20 million streams on Spotify.

Billie also has an Apple Music documentary posted to YouTube in October 2017 as a part of her Up Next campaign. In the documentary, she talks about how she was raised in a household where she was told to pursue her passions, which she did.
