Billie Eilish’s “Barbie” single “What Was I Made For?” was released Thursday, and it captures the gloom that can lie underneath all the glitz and glam of the pink plastic dream world found in Greta Gerwig’s film.
“I used to float, now I just fall down,” Eilish croons in a soft voice reminiscent of her early hit “Ocean Eyes.” “I used to know, but I’m not sure now.”
These lyrics call to mind how Margot Robbie’s Barbie loses the ability to float down from her dream house in one of the film’s three trailers.
