What Was I Made For?

Last updated

I did not think about myself once in the writing process. I was purely inspired by this movie and this character and the way I thought she would feel, and wrote about that. And then, over the next couple days, I was listening and I was like, girl, how did this … honestly, and I really don’t mean this to come off a conceited way at all, but I do this thing where I make stuff that I don’t even know is … like I'm writing for myself and I don't even know it.

—  Billie Eilish, on the songwriting process for "What Was I Made For?" [14]

Critical reception

“What Was I Made For?” was met with widespread critical acclaim from music critics, many of whom regarded it as one of the best songs of 2023. [15] [16] Writing for Stereogum , Tom Breihan noted metaphors in the lyrics that parallels Barbie 's plot and compared the song to "Happier Than Ever", but lamented that "It seems like it’s building to a grand, cathartic finale, but that finale never arrives". [11] Jon Mendelsohn of American Songwriter called the chorus "melancholy yet hopeful". [17] Walden Green of The Fader saw the song as a "sly commentary on pop stars 'created' for the profit of record labels". [18]

Music video

The music video for "What Was I Made For?" was released alongside the single on July 13, 2023. [29] The video, directed by Eilish herself, was shot in entirely one take, and portrays Eilish in a yellow dress (the color Stereotypical Barbie wears at the end of the film) and a blonde wig styled with bangs and a high ponytail similar to the hairstyle of the original 1959 Barbie. Eilish sits at a school desk in an empty, monochromatic space. From a Barbie-themed case, she removes and examines doll clothing resembling outfits Eilish has worn publicly in the past, which she organizes on a miniature hanging rack. As the song progresses, a brief earthquake, a strong wind, and rain threaten to disrupt her efforts. When the rain ends, Eilish quickly stuffs the doll clothes back into their case and walks away, taking the doll case with her. Shortly after the song's ending, Eilish returns briefly to collect a forgotten accessory before exiting once more.

In W , Matthew Velasco interpreted the music video as Eilish's "way of telling us she’s done with her signature baggy look" and that "this feels like the beginning of a new era for Eilish". [30]
