Billie Eilish Admits Stars at Golden Globes 'Scare the Living Hell Out of Me' While Collecting Best Song Win

Three songs from 'Barbie,' as well as tracks from 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie,' 'Rustin' and 'She Came to Me' were nominated

Billie Eilish celebrated winning best original song for Barbie's "What Was I Made For?" with her brother Finneas O'Connell at the Golden Globes 2024.

"Thank you so much. To the Golden Globes, I was not expecting this in this moment. Thank you to my brother Finneas, you are the reason I am who I am," the singer shared during her acceptance speech. "I want to thank Greta and Noah for making this incredible film. I want to thank Margot for being Margot — that we know and love."

"I want to thank Mattel and Interscope, my label, and Darkroom and my incredible team — Chelsea and Michelle — and my managers and my mom. My mom and my dad and my brother again," she continued.

"And you know, it was exactly a year ago almost that we were shown the movie and I was very, very miserable and depressed at the time and writing that song kind of saved me a little bit," she concluded. "And a year later and here we are and it’s really surreal. I feel incredibly, incredibly lucky. Incredibly lucky and grateful and you guys scare the living hell out of me — everyone in this room — but thank you so much. Thank you, this means the world."

Three songs from Barbie, including "What Was I Made For?", were among the six nominees for best original song at Sunday's awards ceremony, which included: "Addicted to Romance" by Bruce Springsteen in She Came to Me; "Dance the Night" by Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, Dua Lipa and Caroline Ailin in Barbie; "I'm Just Ken" by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt in Barbie; "Peaches" by Jack Black, Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic, Eric Osmond and John Spiker inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie; and "Road to Freedom" by Lenny Kravitz in Rustin.

Eilish and her brother, music producer and songwriter Finneas, wrote "What Was I Made For?" during a period of "frustration in writing," as she told Apple Music 1 host Zane Lowe in a July interview.

She said in the interview director Gerwig asked the pair to write a song for the film after they were shown an early cut of Barbie with her and Warner Bros. executives. Though Eilish, 22, said she felt "purely inspired" by the movie, she quickly came to identify with the song's lyrics herself.

"I really don't mean this to come off a conceited way at all, but I do this thing where I make stuff that I don't even know is ... like, I'm writing for myself and I don't even know it," she said at the time. "It is one of the most incredible things I get to experience in my life. Dude, the next week I was playing it in the car all day and playing it for everybody. And I was like, 'This is exactly how I feel. And I didn't even mean to be saying it.' "

The other nominees included Springsteen, 74, wrote "Addicted to Romance" for director Rebecca Miller's She Came to Me, which stars Peter Dinklage, Anne Hathaway and Marisa Tomei. The movie follows a composer (Dinklage) who struggles to complete work on a new opera until he meets a woman named Katrina (Tomei), whom he begins an affair with.

The idea to ask legendary rocker Springsteen to write a song for the film came from composer Bryce Dessner as he and Miller reviewed a cut of the film, Variety reported in October. Though the odds Springsteen would oblige seemed low, the musician was game.

“Bruce loved the idea. He loved the film," Dessner, a member of the band The National, told the outlet. "There’s a line in the first opera and in the script: ‘I’m addicted to romance,’ which is also a through-line in the movie, and he wrote the song, ‘Addicted to Romance’ with his wife Patti Scialfa."

"Dance the Night" is the first of three songs from Barbie nominated at Sunday's Golden Globes. Ronson, 48, and Lipa, 28, collaborated with Wyatt and Ailin on the number, which is prominently featured in a dance number during Barbie's first act and joked about as a "bespoke song" by Margot Robbie's character.

“[Ronson] was like, ‘I’m working on this film with Greta Gerwig and it’s Barbie, and it’s possibly the funniest script I’ve read, and I really want you to write the song for the big dance scene in the film,' " Lipa recalled during The Hollywood Reporter’s Songwriter Roundtable in November. “I was like, 'This is an absolute no-brainer. One thousand percent yes.' "

"I'm Just Ken" takes center stage in the hit movie as a full-on musical number performed by Ryan Gosling's Ken. Since the movie's release in July, the song has taken on a Kenergy of its own; it made an appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 in August and was parodied by Pete Davidson on Saturday Night Live in October.

Gosling and Ronson later teamed up to release Ken The EP in December, including a Christmas-themed version of the song. Simu Liu, who played another Ken in Barbie, has also performed the song live in recent months.

In July, Ronson told Vanity Fair that Gosling enjoyed the track so much when he first heard it that he requested to perform the song on-screen in the movie, leading Gerwig to rewrite an entire scene in order to fit in the performance.

“He really got [that] it had to walk this line of not being funny or parody,” Ronson told Vanity Fair. “But obviously, the song is also kind of ridiculous at times. So he was really amazing, and when he really did start hitting the big notes, I was like, ‘This dude is a vocal powerhouse!’”

The Super Mario Bros. Movie found a hit song within the second highest-grossing movie of 2023. Performed by 54-year-old Black's character Bowser as a means of his professing his unrequited love for the Mushroom Kingdom's Princess Peach (Anya-Taylor Joy), Black — a successful musician on top of his acting career — wrote and recorded the ballad in a matter of days, as Insider reported in April.

"Jack Black is an incredible singer and musician, so we spent a night writing the song and sent the demo to Jack," the movie's director Aaron Horvath wrote in press notes for the film, as the outlet reported. "A couple days later, Jack sent us back a finished track. He had added his own twist on it and his pianist played an original music track for it. We were blown away."

The Super Mario Bros. Movie was also nominated for best animated motion picture and for the new category, cinematic and box office achievement award.

Rock musician Kravitz, 59, lent his talents to Colman Domingo's Netflix movie Rustin, a biopic centered on civil rights activist Bayard Rustin and his efforts to organize the 1963 March on Washington. "Road to Freedom" plays during Rustin's end credits; Kravitz collaborated with musicians like Trombone Shorty on the track, as shown in a behind-the-scenes video shared by Netflix about the song's recording.

"I was immediately intrigued, but first I had to be educated because I really didn't know that much about Bayard Rustin, which in the end proved to me that his story needed to be told," Kravitz said in the video. "The goal was to make a song that evoked the struggle and the triumph of the civil rights movement, as well as paying homage to Bayard Rustin."

Lead actor Domingo, 54, was also nominated for best performance by a male actor in a drama movie at the Golden Globes.
