Every day seems to have more & more new Barbie news, which is making for a fabulous & exciting summer for not only the movie industry, but also for music & fashion. In addition to Dua Lipa‘s pop-heavy dance track “Dance the Night,” the Barbie soundtrack includes “Barbie World” by Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice, as well as new songs by Ava Max, Sam Smith, HAIM, Gayle, & more. Most notably, Billie Eilish adds to the film’s music with her new song “What Was I Made For?” a vulnerable & introspective take on Greta Gerwig‘s vision for Barbie, played by Margot Robbie, who enters the “real world.” While the video may be less action-packed than others, the intimate observation of Billie in costume, through her directorial vision, adds to the drama of the song. Additionally, the song resonates with listeners anywhere who have ever questioned their purpose, confidence, & futures.
Plus, the Oscar-winning singer sits down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, discussing their reactions to first screening the Barbie movie, the origins of the song, Billie’s personal connection to the song’s themes & Barbie as a child, as well as the process of writing & recording it.
