Billie Eilish and her new song, 'What Was I Made For', will feature on the 'Barbie' soundtrack, and the 21-year-old opened up about what it means to her.

The movie, which hits theaters on Friday, is directed by Greta Gerwig, and Eilish thanked the director for helping her break out of her creative block she was in before penning the song.

"We'd really been having, both of us... Usually, it's just me with the writer's block, but not even writer's block, but just the frustration in writing," Eilish told Zane Lowe in a new interview with Apple Music about the writer's block her and her brother Finneas experienced.

"And Finneas has always been the one that's like, 'No, no, no, let's write. Let's write.'

"And honestly, we were in a period of time where we were both ... like through this last winter, we've both been incredibly uninspired.

"And we've still been working and trying to make stuff.

"Honestly, that song was the first thing we'd written in a minute.

"Even though we were coming up with ideas and coming up with this and that, I after we wrote that first half, I go, 'I think we still got it'."

Eilish says she didn't know if she could make more music

Eilish noted that her and her brother have been making music for quite some time, but that their latest slump had her questioning whether they could make new music.

"We were like, I was 15 years old, 16, 17, and he's a teenager, you can imagine my thoughts of doubt. Like, oh, I can't do this anymore," she continued.

"And 'Barbie' and Greta just pulled it out of me, I don't know."
