"To be in any of these rooms, on ‘Team Barbie,’ has been really fun. I was saying that to Greta [Gerwig] recently. I feel like we’re honorary members of the 'Barbie' entourage and it’s very cool." he continued and Eilish added, "It’s a cool group to be a part of."

'What Was I Made For?' also earned a nomination for Best Original Song' at this year's Academy Awards, adding to Eilish and her brother Finneas' growing list of achievements.
