What to know about "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish
Written for the hit 2023 film Barbie, "What Was I Made For?" reached the number 14 position on the Billboard US Hot 100 in July 2023. The melancholy lyrics tell the story of Barbie's arc through the film, but also reflect on the personal feelings of Eilish as well.
"I was purely inspired by this movie and this character and the way I thought she would feel, and wrote about that," Eilish told Billboard of her creative process of writing the song. "I absolutely was writing about myself, but I was thinking about myself from a third person."
