Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, PinkPantheress, Karol G, and Charli XCX have all released songs from the Barbie soundtrack. Now, it's Billie Eilish's turn to get pink.
The seven-time GRAMMY winner and 19-time nominee just released "What Was I Made For," her cut from the buzzy Greta Gerwig film — and it came with fair warning. "Get ready to sob," Eilish wrote on Instagram: crane your ear, and you can hear a tidal wave of tears worldwide.
Hushed and incisive in the most Eilishesque of ways, "What Was I Made For" is an emotional crusher with a minimum of musical ingredients. In the video, she wears a Barbie-esque blonde ponytail and getup, and takes inventory of the contents of a Barbie-themed box.
"I used to to float/ Now I just fall down/ I used to know, but I’m not sure now," she sings within brother FINNEAS' diaphanous soundworld. "What I was made for/ What was I made for?"
Eilish said in a statement that the video "makes me cryyyyy.. it means so much to me and i hope it will mean just as much to you. don’t have much to say other than that, i think it will speak for itself🫀 :’’’’) enjoy."
