  • Interview recorded on Monday, July 10th in Los Angeles, CA
    "Barbie" is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated movies of the year. At the end of last year, Finneas asked Billie Eilish to make a song for the movie after a conversation with Greta Gerwig and Mark Ronson. Now, the song, "What Was I Made For?" is ready to be released.
    Billie Eilish and Zane Lowe sit down in the theater to discuss the making of her song, "What Was I Made For?", which was created specifically for the blockbuster of the summer, but is also somehow incredibly personal. Billie opens up about her experience being involved in the movie, her feelings about songwriting for film and TV, and the childhood connection to Barbie that makes this a "full circle" moment.

    Zane Lowe BLOWS me away with every interview. He has a talent to converse with people and draw things out in them that simply can't be taught. His questions are well researched but more importantly, they're inspired. You can tell he's REALLY listening and connecting with the person he's interviewing in a way that's so genuine and comfortable, that you don't even remember it's an interview. It takes so much vulnerability and WISEDOM on his end to be able to do what he does.

    It‘s so validating to hear that being uninspired for long periods of time and facing obstacles in your creative process is a thing that happens to other people too. Creativity really is not something that can be controlled. And it doesn’t undermine your abilities as an artist.

      Yep creativity is free flowing and our lives and the factors that influence also inform our creativity. The difference here is that a professional artist still has to mine and carve something out, even if they don’t feel inspired. I think with creativity it’s important to just keep going

    This song hits so hard - she so perfectly describes feeling that constant existential dread that comes with depression, when you so frequently question life and what your purpose is - pairing it with a powerful video that captures the feeling of when you're little and try to play with Barbie a certain way but then things go wrong and you feel so out of control, and then tying that in to the message of the movie of the biggest struggle of life; trying to figure out who you are.

Like it’s one thing to create art without restrictions, writing about break ups, etc. But Greta showed them the movie and asked them to come up with a song - and they managed to create this?? Something that totally fits the specific Barbie plot WHILE also personal to Billie?? I am impressed by these people’s creativity and skills.
    The melody is so Billie and it works so beautifully well in the movie when played with the montage about moments in life. So touching. Now whenever I play this song I want to cry

    It baffles me that Billie is only 21, and she made a whole career for herself with her brother, but she’s not even 25 yet, and she can literally put a greatest hits out. She has so much time ahead of her, and can’t wait to see what will happen next in her career. She is just so naturally talented as her brother is, and it’s only been 5 years since her first album came out. That’s just crazy.

    It's interesting to hear her perspective on what barbie was to her as a girl. She says that as a kid she didn't really think about how barbie was setting a beauty standard she wasn't part of. But as a little Asian girl in America in the 80s I did. I often felt a vein of resentment towards barbie and all dolls at the store, blonde was always the main product line with variations being brunette, and I resented that. I enjoyed barbie dolls and the fashions and the hair, it was decadent, but I wasn't white and dolls reminded me of that daily, and I thought I might never be as pretty as barbie.
    I'm glad this movie came out to help round out for society everything that barbie has touched on through the years. She's a toy and a fashion icon and a role model and a cautionary tale all in one. 👱‍♀️

    I remember when Ruth said take my hands close your eyes now feel and this song played I literally started bawling crying cause I felt like it was her saying feel your emotions and let them out . I suffer with terrible anxiety and have to take medication for it that when I heard this song it was like billie said everything I was feeling ( like Billie said it was exactly how she felt , it’d also how I feel ) dealing with stress and anxiety daily it’s like I forgot how to be happy and I don’t know how to deal with the anxiety of everyday life etc . This song is sung so beautifully it’s perfect and it was perfect for the barbie movie. This song really struck a chord deep for me and still to this day makes me emotional. She’s a great artist and this is my favourite Billie Ellis’s song to date

As a retired jazz/classical pianist-turned teacher, and ex-singer (Carole King mostly) unable to perform in college & coffeehouses at 20 yrs old with new, crippling anxiety & depression that became debilitating. In 70s we/they knew NOTHING about treatment, guided meditation, mindfulness, deep breathing, refocusing, CBT, there was no CBD, ketamime etc etc.

    Beautiful song and video rife with themes of identity, self-doubt, and the pressure of expectations. The lyric "I'm not real, just something you paid for" paired with the way she examines and reflects on each outfit seems like an introspective exploration of her own identity; as if the various stages and eras throughout her career have compromised or confused her authentic sense of self, and she desperately wants to reclaim it. As if she feels more like a product than a person. My take is the tremor, wind and rain seem like outside forces and an environment trying to prevent her journey of self-discovery. To me, her picking up the wreckage and leaving speaks to her fight to reclaim her sense of self, leaving the obstacles behind in the pursuit of happiness. Such a beautiful, haunting and ethereal song.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I have to listen to this song at least 10x a day since we saw the film on the first day released in the UK. If I'm concentrating on the song, rather than just listening to it whilst doing something else or singing along etc. it honestly brings me to tears every single time I concentrate on the words and the melody.

    When he mentions he line, 'Something you paid for' and goes on to say, 'You have to acknowledge there are different types of love' that was just like a hammer hitting an anvil moment for me, ringing out in perfect clarity. I'm currently dealing with a situation in my life and it's exactly this. It's not fandom, but sometimes the relationship between parent and child is very much this. A parent will love unconditionally, but for a child, even when they become young adults, it's still transactional, to a point. Especially when that child has very specific special needs or a diagnosis that feeds the dependency dynamic.
