Their victory came after facing stiff competition from other remarkable compositions, including another 'Barbie' track, 'I’m Just Ken', penned by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, and sung by Ryan Gosling. 

During her standing ovation, Eilish expressed her gratitude, stating, "I had a nightmare about this last night, I just didn't think this would happen."

She added, "I was not expecting this. I feel incredibly lucky and honored by everyone affected by the movie and its incredible impact," as per Enews.
