Outside of family life, Eilish’s professional life has continued to blossom.

The Grammy winner’s latest single “What Was I Made For?” – co-written by Finneas – is a featured track in the record-breaking Greta Gerwig movie, Barbie.

In an interview with Apple Music 1 host Zane Lowe, Eilish recently revealed that the song came about when she and her brother were experiencing a “frustration in writing”.

"We were really in a zone of feeling like we lost it and feeling like, 'Man, I don't know if we can do this anymore.' And we were like, I was 15 years old, 16, 17, and he's a teenager, you can imagine my thoughts of doubt. Like, 'Oh, I can't do this anymore,' " Eilish explained.

Thankfully for Eilish, Barbie, and director Greta Gerwig "just pulled it out of me, I don't know."

"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. "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.' "
