Billie Eilish Tough Confession About Her Song in Barbie
The singer won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for "What I Was Made For"
With great joy, the 22-year-old singer, Billie Eilish, received the Golden Globe for Best Original Song alongside her brother Finneas, for writing «What I Was Made For» for the Barbie movie.
«What Was I Made For?» has become a song that has changed Billie Eilish’s life. And we don’t say this just because the soloist has just won a Golden Globe, but because this song has been a significant victory for the artist over depression. She shared this during her acceptance speech for the Golden Globe for Best Song for a Soundtrack.
«It was exactly a year ago, almost, that we were shown the movie, and I felt very, very miserable and depressed at that moment. And writing that song saved me a bit. And a year later, here we are. It’s really surreal, and I feel incredibly fortunate and grateful,» began the vocalist and songwriter.
The Californian artist was visibly emotional. Not often does an artist in their early twenties become one of the four women in the history of music to win the Golden Globe twice: for «No Time to Die» and «What Was I Made For?»

Billie Eilish continued along the same lines in interviews after receiving the award. «I really don’t know how to believe it because I know what it’s like to be in that position, and it’s very real. Knowing that you’re helping someone in that situation is really hard to believe, surprising, and special, and you almost feel unworthy. Like I don’t deserve to help you get through that. But it’s so special and powerful. I feel that way a lot, and people say some things, and I’m surprised, you know?»
«I really would like to say that this award and any recognition this song gets, I just want to dedicate it to anyone experiencing hopelessness, the feeling of existential dread, and the feeling of, what’s the point, why am I here and why am I doing this? I think we all feel that way sometimes, but I think if I mean something to someone, with the amount of privileges I have and the incredible things I can do and be and how I really didn’t want to be here… I’m sorry. It’ll be dark, damn it, but I’ve spent a lot of time feeling that way,» said the singer.
