Billie’s upcoming song, “What Was I Made For?” featured in the new Barbie movie trailer will premiere along with a video Thursday July 13th. To announce the song, the 21-year-old singer shared a photo on Instagram of the Barbie logo with the track’s title written above it. The caption read: “We made this song for Barbie and it means the absolute worrrrllld to me. This movie is gonna change your lives and hopefully, this song will too. Get ready to sob.”
Eilish is the latest contributor to join the star-studded group of artists to provide music for the Mark Ronson produced soundtrack.
The Barbie film was banned in Vietnam because the it includes the “nine dash line map” that depicts islands in the South China Sea as being controlled by Beijing.
“We do not grant license for the American movie ‘Barbie’ to release in Vietnam because it contains the offending image of the nine-dash line,” the state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper stated, citing Vi Kien Thanh, the director general of the Vietnam Cinema Department under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
Earlier this year, Eilish shared the Labrinth collaboration “Never Felt So Alone” , from the Euphoria soundtrack and made her acting debut in Donald Glover’s Swarm. Last year, she revealed she started working on her new album – the follow-up to her acclaimed 2021 sophomore LP ‘Happier than Ever‘. She returns to the UK to headline Reading & Leeds festival this August.
