A film's soundtrack is undoubtedly its pulse and Barbie is leaving no stone unturned to have a stellar one. They have assembled a brilliant set of artists to create a whooping 17-track album, with one song from 21-year-old American singer and songwriter Billie Eilish. The song will be titled What Was I Made For?.

The film will be released on July 21, 2023 worldwide. The anticipation for the film is just surging with every passing day, not just because of the cast and plot but also because Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is being released on the same day.

With that being said, fans on the internet were visibly excited to hear the singer's song in the upcoming film.
