The 17-year-old pop star whose debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? , dropped March 29 appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that aired Monday and spoke about her diagnosis, as well as her budding music career.

Its something Ive lived with my whole life, she said of Tourette Syndrome. Everybody in my family, all my friends, all the people that are closest to me know I have it and its not anything different.

I didnt want that to define who I was, the singer said of her decision to previously keep quiet about her diagnosis. As for how she was able to prepare for interviews and public appearances, she added, I have ways of making [the tics] go away.

During Mondays show, Eilish performed her new single, When the Partys Over . The dramatic number saw her strutting through a pool of water.
