"What Was I Made For?" lyrics
"What Was I Made For?"
(from "Barbie" soundtrack)
I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know, but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out, I'm not real
Just something you paid for
What was I made for?
'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might
Mm, mm-mm, aah-ooh
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?
'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might
Think I forgot, how to be happy
Something I'm not, but something I can be
Something I wait for
Something I'm made for
Something I'm made for
"What Was I Made For?" is the sixth single off of the soundtrack to the film "Barbie" (2023). The song and its
music video were published on the 13th of July, 2023. Billie Eilish shared in a newsletter,
"This video makes me cry. It means so much to me and I hope it will mean just as much to you. Don't have much to say other than that. I think it will speak for itself." She directed the video (filmed in one take) herself.
Billie Eilish told about this track on YouTube,
"FINNEAS was like, 'Should we try to write a Barbie song?' and I literally was like, 'Dog, No. What? We're not gonna make a—come on.' I thought about like 'No Time To Die'. That was months of thinking and talking and coming up with different melodies and stuff, and that was also one of my favorite processes of all time but very different, and I was like, 'We can't recreate that, like, how are we gonna do that?' and we truly sat down, and FINNEAS started playing piano and those first couple lyrics 'I used to float, now I just fall down' just came right out."
The song won Song of the Year at 66th Annual Grammy Awards and the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 96th Academy Awards.

Giveon - "HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY" Ooh
Balloons are deflated
Guess they look lifeless like me
We miss you on your side of the bed, mmm
Still got your things here
And they stare at me like souvenirs
Don't wanna let you out my head...
Ellise - "Nightmares" Sinking, so sick of thinking
Of all the things you need from me
Who you think that I should be?
Itching to feel you with me
But I can do that to myself
Touch so soft but words the kill
I wanna look...
Harry Styles - "Adore You" Walk in your rainbow paradise
Strawberry lipstick state of mind
I get so lost inside your eyes
Would you believe it?
You don't have to say you love me
You don't have to say nothing
You don't have to...
Dua Lipa - "Break My Heart" I've always been the one to say the first goodbye
Had to love and lose a hundred million times
Had to get it wrong to know just what I like
Now I'm falling
You say my name like I have never heard...
Ricky Montgomery - "Mr Loverman" I'm headed straight for the floor
The alcohol's served its tour
And it's headed straight for my skin
Leaving me daft and dim
I've got this shake in my legs
Shaking the thoughts from my head
But who...
