Billie Eilish Attributes ‘Barbie’ Song “What Was I Made For?” For Getting Through Depression In Golden Globes Acceptance Speech

Billie Eilish made a heartfelt speech at the Golden Globes on Sunday in light of the memory of her being asked by writer-director Greta Gerwig to make the hit song “What Was I Made For?” for the Barbie soundtrack. “It was exactly a year ago, almost, that we were shown the movie, and I was very, very miserable and depressed at the time.
