In Palm Springs, California, Billie Eilish has shared insights into the challenging period that served as the inspiration for her hit Barbie anthem, “What Was I Made For?”. 

The 22-year-old singer opened up about her personal struggles during the creation of the song while accepting the Chairman’s Award at the Palm Springs Film Awards on Thursday. 

Billie revealed that she spent a significant amount of time feeling a reluctance to be present, leading to the profound existential questions explored in the ballad. 

During her acceptance speech, she dedicated the award and any recognition the song receives to those who grapple with feelings of hopelessness and existential dread, expressing empathy for individuals questioning the purpose of their existence. 

Billie emphasized that she now feels grateful to be alive and encouraged those still facing difficulties to be patient with themselves.
