Billie Eilish & Finneas O’Connell On “Jackson Pollock” Approach To Writing ‘Barbie’s “Heart” Song “What Was I Made For?” – Crew Call Podcast


Billie Eilish, Finneas O'Connell discuss on Deadline's Crew Call podcast their "Jackson Pollock" approach with their Oscar nominated 'Barbie' song "What Was I Made For?"

“The movie allowed us to be honest in a way that I don’t think we would have been able to achieve had it not been for — had it not been like an assignment,” says Billie Eilish about writing the weepy and moving Barbie ballad “ What Was I Made For? While meant to be the aorta soul song for Warner Bros. summer blockbuster, the tune is so quintessential Eilish and bro/collaborator Finneas O’Connell: Self-reflective, piercing, poetic, and utterly emotional. The duo also talk about their familial connection to Barbie(their dad was a carpenter for toymaker Mattel) and what the future holds (Hint per Eilish “no more songs for movies….we’re going into album land.”)
