Billie Eilish has been expressing her pride in the response to her songwriting for the 'Barbie' movie, particularly at the songwriter #THRRoundtable, noting the impact it had on women. She and her brother Finneas felt they had created something special with the song 'What Was I Made For?'. Eilish, who grew up writing music for movies as an exercise, didn't anticipate the overwhelming response the song received. Meryl Streep has praised the siblings' contribution to the film, stating that 'Barbie' 'saved the movies last summer and all of our jobs', and has delivered joy to a wide audience. Eilish has also opened up about her personal struggles during the songwriting process, revealing that she was in a 'dark episode' and questioned her will to live. Despite these challenges, Eilish has dedicated her award for the song to those struggling emotionally at the Palm Springs Film Awards and has expressed a desire to pursue more acting roles. This praise echoes Steven Spielberg's previous year's thanks to Tom Cruise for saving the movies with 'Top Gun: Maverick'.
