There’s no doubt “What Was I Made For?” — the song Billie Eilish and her producer brother Finneas contributed to the “Barbie” movie soundtrack — has struck a deep chord with fans. The melancholy ballad has racked up more than 600 million Spotify streams since its release in July 2023, and it’s also an awards season favorite. “What Am I Made For?” won song of the year at the 2024 Grammys and a Golden Globe in January for best original song. Now, it's up for an Oscar for best original song.
The repeated lyrics in the chorus, “What was I made for? / What was I made for?” could resonate with anyone questioning their identity and purpose in the world, Eilish has said. “I want to dedicate to anyone who experiences hopelessness and the feeling of existential dread and feeling like, what’s the point and why am I here and why am I doing this for?” Eilish said as she accepted an award at the 2024 Palm Springs International Film Awards Gala in January.
