American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish has dropped a live video of her performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards for “What Was I Made For?”.
The song won Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
It was written by Finneas O'Connell and Billie Eilish O'Connell. Produced by FINNEAS, Mark Ronson, and Andrew Wyatt.
The song was released as the fifth single from the 2023 fantasy comedy film “Barbie” soundtrack last July.
Billie Eilish told Zane Lowe of Apple Music 1 about the song, “I was purely inspired by this movie and this character and the way I thought she would feel, and wrote about that. And honestly, that song was the first thing we'd written in a minute. Even though we were coming up with ideas and coming up with this and that, I remember after we wrote that first half, I go, 'I think we still got it.'”- Also, the song is nominated for Best Original Song at the 96th Academy Awards. The ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles on March 10, 2024.
Billie Eilish said, “We are so incredibly honored to receive a nomination for 'What Was I Made For?' As lifelong fans of film, music in film and the Academy Awards, this means everything to us. We are so grateful to the Academy, its members, and to be recognized alongside so many songwriters that we respect and admire. Our deepest gratitude and thanks go out to the incomparable Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach for their genius vision and execution, the entire Barbie cast and crew, Lucky Chap Entertainment and the Warner Bros. Pictures team. Thank you to Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt for weaving our song into the fabric and heart of this film so well. And a special shout out to Margot Robbie for her incredible foresight as a producer and brilliant performance that resonated with us so profoundly when writing this song. We are truly honored. Thank you.” - source : The 2024 Grammy Awards
