The song was written for the Barbie soundtrack, and has gone on to be nominated for a Golden Globe.Eilish revealed to Fallon that she and producer brother Finneas made the song after a long day of fruitless attempts to come up with new music.Fallon then asked Eilish whether she was working on a new album.

Billie Eilish has said her song ‘What Was I Made For’ is one of her “best vocal performances I’ve ever given”.In an interview with Vanity Fair, Eilish has opened up about the making of her song, which she wrote for the Barbie soundtrack.Eilish said she “had this exact vision for what I wanted it to sound like, and I got it there.” She described aiming for whispery, “heartbroken” vocals, saying that singing in a belted or “choral” style didn’t fit the song.“I feel really proud,” she continued. “If I can be honest, I feel like it’s one of my best vocal performances I’ve ever given.”Brother and producer Finneas, however, said the singer was “harsh” on herself about the performance.

Billie Eilish is addressing how she navigates Hollywood.

Billie Eilish doesn’t seem to be too happy after a recent public appearance.

In a recent Variety cover feature, Billie Eilish spoke about her complicated feelings about women, saying she often felt that women didn't like her. "I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life," she said in the magazine's "Hitmakers" issue.

Billie Eilish is clarifying that she did in fact come out publicity in a new interview — but she thought everyone already knew that.The Grammy winner, 21, was asked by Variety over the weekend if she meant to open up about her sexuality in their latest November interview with her.“No, I didn’t, but I kinda thought, wasn’t it obvious?” I didn’t realize people didn’t know,” she said during its 2023 Hitmakers event on Dec. 2.“I just don’t really believe in it,” she added of the concept of coming out. “I’m just like, ‘Why can’t we just exist?’ I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it.

Billie Eilish has responded to Variety “outing her” in a recent interview.The popstar recently told Variety in a cover story that she was “attracted to [women] for real.” She later confirmed her sexuality in a further interview for the publication’s Hitmakers event, where she received the Film Song of the Year Award. On the red carpet, she admitted that she “didn’t” mean to come out: “I kinda thought, wasn’t it obvious?”“It’s exciting to me because I guess people didn’t know, so it’s cool that they know,” the singer continued.

Billie Eilish didn’t realize she “came out” during a recent interview — but she’s embracing it!

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Billie Eilish and her brother and collaborator Finneas O’Connell have received Grammys, an Oscar and just about every award and honor and tribute and kudo young recording artists can imagine in the six years since her debut EP in 2017, but even they can still be awed by a tribute from a respected influence. That happened at Variety’s Hitmakers celebration in Los Angeles on Saturday, when Elton John’s lyricist of 56 years, Bernie Taupin — who has written the lyrics for everything from “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word” to “Bennie and the Jets” and “Candle in the Wind” — paid tribute to their songwriting partnership when rewarding them with the Film Song of the Year honor for “What Was I Made For?,” their song from the summer blockbuster film “Barbie.” Before an audience that included Boygenius, Joan Baez, Olivia Rodrigo, Victoria Monet and many others (SZA hadn’t arrived yet), the following exchange took place: Taupin’s tribute and Eilish’s response (Finneas just said “Thanks guys!”) follows in full.
