LOS ANGELES, Feb 5, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Billie Eilish's contemplative track

from the blockbuster film "Barbie" on Sunday won the Grammy for Song of the
Year, which honors songwriting.

"What Was I Made For?" won the prize over tunes from Taylor Swift, Lana Del
Rey and top nominee SZA, as well as another "Barbie" song by Dua Lipa.

Eilish shares the prize with her regular collaborator and brother, Finneas
O'Connell.

The tear-jerker of a song reflecting on self-worth was one of the hits off
the soundtrack for the summer smash film directed by Greta Gerwig.

"Thank you to Greta Gerwig for making the best movie of the year," Eilish
said onstage wearing a custom pink and black Barbie bomber jacket.

The album earned a smattering of Grammy nominations in the top categories as
well as across the pop and visual media fields. So far, it has three wins.

Eilish has said she was inspired to pen "What Was I Made For?" after seeing
unfinished scenes of "Barbie" while it was still in production.

It was just another day in the office for Eilish, the 22-year-old superstar
who already had seven Grammys including all of the top prizes ahead of
Sunday's gala.

Earlier in the day, she scooped a trophy for Best Song Written for Visual
Media.

She was ever humble in accepting the prize, saying "I just want to say
everyone in this category, like -- that was a crazy list of incredible
people, incredible artists, incredible music! I feel crazy right now."

Her brother and regular collaborator echoed the sentiment: "We continue to be
just deeply, deeply privileged, lucky people."

"It's hard to feel deserving ever, but we definitely don't right now. We feel
very humbled, very grateful."

Eilish has proven herself to be a Recording Academy darling since her
breakout year in 2020, where she swept the major categories and established
herself as a global star.

In her early teenage years, Eilish won a fervent online following for her
bold, often haunting pop sound featuring heavy bass and tinges of trap and
electronic dance music.
