“What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish Named as 2023 Musicnotes Song of the Year

Every year, Musicnotes chooses a Song of the Year, which is awarded to the songwriter and publisher of our top-selling song. This year’s winner is “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish!

One of the more introspective songs on the Barbie movie soundtrack, Barbie is trying to figure out the purpose and meaning of her life. This song was quite successful worldwide, peaking at number one in Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, and it reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s received five nominations for the Grammys, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year, and the song received a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. The peaceful piano ballad features Billie’s beautiful upper register in the chorus.

Congratulations to songwriters Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell for this amazing achievement! Check out all our arrangements by Billie Eilish, and don’t forget to check out our selection of songs from the Barbie movie.
