Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell have given us one of the best songs of the past year with “What Was I Made For?”, and they’re finally reaping the fruits of their labor. This soaring ballad from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie won them their second Golden Globe on Sunday night.
“What Was I Made For?” was one of the tracks in the running for the best original song at this year’s Golden Globes. It was a clear front-runner from the very start, and easily defeated tough competition in the fellow Barbie tracks “Dance the Night” and “I’m Just Ken”, plus Lenny Kravitz’s “Road to Freedom” from Rustin, Bruce Springsteen’s “Addicted to Romance” from She Came to Me, and “Peaches” from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, performed by Jack Black.
To make the whole thing even more impressive, this isn’t the first Golden Globe that the sister-brother duo Eilish and O’Connell won by each other’s side. Just two years ago, they dominated this category with the James Bond theme song “No Time to Die”.
“What Was I Made For?” is currently in the running for five Grammy Awards, including record and song of the year. It also made it to the shortlist for the best original song at the upcoming Academy Awards.
