What to know about "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish
Written for the hit 2023 film Barbie, "What Was I Made For?" reached the number 14 position on the Billboard US Hot 100 in July 2023. The melancholy lyrics tell the story of Barbie's arc through the film, but also reflect on the personal feelings of Eilish as well.
"I was purely inspired by this movie and this character and the way I thought she would feel, and wrote about that," Eilish told Billboard of her creative process of writing the song. "I absolutely was writing about myself, but I was thinking about myself from a third person."

The lyrics to "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish
I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
Just something you paid for
What was I made for?
'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might
When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?
'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might
Think I forgot how to be happy
Something I'm not, but something I can be
Something I wait for
Something I'm made for
Something I'm made for
