The song released Friday alongside its music video, which brings the dreamy ballad to life as Eilish sings lyrics pondering the title, “What Was I Made For?”
The 21-year-old shared a clip of the video and song via Instagram sharing she wrote it with her brother, and regular collaborator, FINNEAS, after viewing some deeply moving clips from the new movie in January.
“In January [director] Greta [Gerwig] showed me and Finneas a handful of some unfinished scenes from the film; we had nooooo idea what to expect at ALLL,” she said. “We were so deeeeeply moved... that the next day we were writing and COULDN’T shut up about it lolll andddddddddd ended up writing almost the entire song that night. To be real with you this all seemed to happen in a time when i really needed it. i’m so so thankful for that.”
Other artists contributing to the soundtrack are Lizzo, Charli XCX, Karol G, Sam Smith, Ryan Gosling (with Slash), Dominic Fike, Haim, the Kid LAROI, Khalid, PinkPantheress, Gayle, Ava Max, Fifty Fifty, Tame Impala, Dua Lipa and Ice Spice with Nicki Minaj.
