The song, written by Billie and her brother Finneas, was hailed by the publication as "the best movie theme since No Time to Die" which was composed for the James Bond movie in 2021.
This past July, the sad song made its premiere along with a music video that saw Billie transforming into a platinum blonde doll-like figure.
What Was I Made For? is currently up for five Grammy's in categories, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Song Written for Visual Media and Best Music Video.
