Billie Eilish Wins Best Original Song At Golden Globes For “Barbie” Track

by

Billie Eilish and Finneas took home the award for Best Original Song during the 2024 Golden Globes for their work on the Barbie soundtrack with the song, “What Was I Made For?” In the category, they competed against two other songs for the movie. They included Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” and Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken.” Other nominates were Bruce Springsteen’s “Addicted to Romance” for She Came to Me, and Lenny Kravitz “Road to Freedom” for Rustin, as well as Jack Black’s “Peaches” for The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

“I was not expecting this in that moment,” she said. “It was exactly a year ago almost that we were shown the movie. And I was very miserable and depressed at the time. Writing that song kind of saved me a little bit. A year later, here we are and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful.” After a brief glance, she added: “You guys scare the living hell out of me, everyone in this room,” before departing the stage.

Billie Eilish says she didn’t expect as much surprise to her “coming out,” during her a recent interview with Variety for the outlet’s “Power of Women” cover story. Attending Variety Hitmakers on Saturday, Eilish admitted that she thought it was “obvious” she liked women. She also joked: “I’m still scared of ‘em but I think they’re pretty.”

“I kind of thought, wasn’t it obvious?” she further said on the red carpet. “I didn’t realize people didn’t know, I just don’t really believe in it. 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.”

As for her comments in the Variety piece, she previously explained: “I’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real. I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life. I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.” Check out her latest remarks on the matter below.

Billie Eilish is one of the biggest artists in the entire world right now. Although she isn’t exactly in the hip-hop lane, she still makes a huge impact on the music world as a while. Her debut album was a massive success, and her follow-up was also huge. Overall, she has tons of hits to her name, including a James Bond theme song. That in and of itself is massive, and it is enough to get fans excited for some of the other soundtrack songs she may produce.
