Billie Eilish wins for Barbie’s ‘What Was I Made For?’ at Golden Globes 2024

What was she made for? Apparently, winning Golden Globes.

Having just turned 22 a few weeks ago, Billie Eilish won her second Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song on Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.

After she and her brother, producer and co-writer Finneas triumphed for the Bond theme “No Time to Die” in 2022, the siblings came up golden again for the “Barbie” single, “What Was I Made For?”

The moody meditation, which tapped into the existential crisis that the iconic Mattel doll faces in Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster, beat out two other “Barbie” tunes: Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” and Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken.”

The track — which is also up for both Record and Song of the Year at the Feb. 4 Grammys — bested Bruce Springsteen’s “Addicted to Romance,” from “She Came to Me”: Jack Black’s “Peaches,” from “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”; and Lenny Kravitz’s “Rustin,” from “Road to Freedom.”

This was Eilish’s first appearance at the Golden Globes, because the awards were not televised in 2022. Rocking red and black hair, spectacles, an oversized jacket and thrift-store Mary Jane shoes, she was the picture of scholastic chic as she walked the red carpet with Finneas.
