Billie Eilish credited her Barbie song for having "saved her" from depression as she accepted a Golden Globe Award on Sunday (Jan 7).
The Bad Guy hitmaker and her brother, co-writer Finneas O'Connell, accepted the Best Original Song prize for What Was I Made For? from Greta Gerwig's blockbuster, and the 22-year-old star reflected on how she was feeling low when she first saw the movie and was asked to be part of the project.
Taking to the stage alongside her sibling, Billie said: "Thank you so much to the Golden Globes, I was not expecting this in this moment.
"Thank you to my brother Finneas, you're the reason I am who I am.
"I wanna thank Greta and Noah for making this incredible film, I want to thank Margot for being the Margot we know and love, I want to thank Mattel, and Interscope, my label, and Dark Room, and my incredible team, my managers and my mom. My mom, and my dad, and my brother again.
"It was exactly a year ago almost that we were shown the movie I was very, very miserable and depressed at the time. And writing that song kind of saved me a little bit. A year later, and here we are, and it's really surreal. I feel incredibly, incredibly lucky and grateful."
Billie admitted the honour "means the world" to her but she couldn't help but feel nervous around the assembled Hollywood royalty at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
She added: "You guys scare the living hell out of me, everyone in this room.
"Thank you so much, this means the world."
Two other songs from the Barbie soundtrack were also nominated for the award, Dance the Night by Dance the Night by Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, Dua Lipa and Caroline Ailin, and I'm Just Ken, which was also written by Mark and Andrew.
In addition, Bruce Springsteen's Addicted to Romance from She Came to Me was on the shortlist, as was Peaches — which was written by Jack Black, Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic, Eric Osmond and John Spiker — from The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Lenny Kravitz's Road to Freedom from Rustin.
