Eilish and her brother, Finneas, are up for Best Original Song for Barbie’s “What Was I Made For?”. They will also be performing it during the show.

When the Oscar nominations were announced, Eilish and Finneas reflected on what a privilege it was to be nominated again. “Thank you so much to the members of @theacademy for nominating ‘What Was I Made For?’” Eilish wrote in an Instagram post. “We are endlessly grateful for this honor and to have been a part of @barbiethemovie 🎀”

In the carousel she shared, Eilish included a longer statement on behalf of hers and Finneas:

Eilish spoke to Entertainment Weekly in December about where her headspace was when she wrote the track. “It was a dark, slow period of time,” she said. “I was also in a weird place mentally in my life. We were in the studio and did come up with stuff, but nothing felt right. I don’t think I was able to be vulnerable and self-aware about my life and surroundings. That makes it hard to write sometimes. When we had this new thing to write about that wasn’t [about] my life, it was almost relieving. I didn’t have to worry about how I felt. I could just write from the perspective of this character. What was amazing is immediately after, I realized it was absolutely about me and my life. I didn’t even mean to do that.”
