At the 96th Academy Awards, Billie Eilish became the youngest individual to receive two Oscars. Alongside her brother, Finneas, the sibling duo clinched the award for Best Original Song for their ballad 'What Was I Made For?' featured in the film 'Barbie.' Notably, in 2022, the accomplished pair secured another Oscar for their composition 'No Time to Die' from the James Bond franchise.

In addition to securing an Oscar award, the composition was nominated for five Grammy, ultimately winning in the categories of Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media. Remarkably, it holds the distinction of being the first cinematic soundtrack since 'My Heart Will Go On' from Titanic in 1998.

The composition also won a Golden Globe award for Best Original Song. It also achieved chart success by attaining the 14th position on the Billboard Hot 100. Furthermore, it claimed the top spot on the Billboard US Adult Top 40 chart.

A majority of the song was written by Eilish, which seemed surprising at the time since people were expecting the movie to be more upbeat and happy. However, the film delves into profound and darker themes, with the composition adeptly capturing the complex emotions associated with grappling with one's self-worth and embarking on the journey of self-discovery.

Eilish delivered a captivating live performance, earning a standing ovation in recognition of her exceptional abilities. The poignant lyrics, coupled with the evocative piano accompaniment, stirred the audience and the viewers watching. The Oscar was well-deserved and the effect of the song will forever be remembered.
