Five singles were released in promotion of the album: "My Future", "Therefore I Am", "Your Power", "Lost Cause", and "NDA", all of which charted in the top 40 of the US Billboard Hot 100. Happier Than Ever debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and topped the charts in 20 other countries. To promote the album further, a Disney+ documentary concert film, Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles, will be released on September 3, 2021, and Eilish will embark on her fifth concert tour, titled Happier Than Ever The World Tour, covering Europe and North America in 2022.
