Lyrics:
I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know, but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
Just somethin' you paid for
What was I made for?
'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might
Mm, mm, ah
Mm, mm, mm
When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?
'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might
Think I forgot how to be happy
Somethin' I'm not, but somethin' I can be
Somethin' I wait for
Somethin' I'm made for
Somethin' I'm made for

This song speaks to something deep in me I didn’t even know was there. I honestly think it’s some of her best work so far and this performance was breathtaking. love u billie
Same!! In fact, this is my first time listening to the entire song since it first came out. To me, it's the song of the year.
This is so true and I think part of the reason why she and Finneas are going to get another Oscar
Love the breathy-ness, then the orchestal and the screen of the SNL cast

I’m 61 and I find myself looking back at my life, all the ups and downs, wondering if I did a good job as a person. Did I give enough of myself? Did I do right by my sons, my family and friends? This song embodies all those feelings. Lots of questions, maybe no answers.
I was ok until I read your post and then someone must have been cutting onions close by . I’m 64 and the same observations. Thank you . Btw , there is a video of her singing Fever with Count Basie orchestra . I would recommend a view of it. It’s pretty special . She is a generational talent. No wonder she is so successful .
❤
I'm sure you did the best you could.
Love your comment- guarantee so many feel of us feel that same way
We do the best with the tools we possess in that periodt of time in life :)
Seriously . . . this has GOT to be one of the century's most gifted artists wth a voice and interpretation so so rare. Thank you Finneas for helping to bring out the best in Billie.
Love the brother/sister vibe. Finneas is such a good older brother to her. Together they are unstoppable. Even his background harmony matches so well with hers.

Finneas IS such a good brother....he is also an artisi all on his own!! Check out HIS music, and you will be blown away again!!!! I love them both.

At 71 years old, I can say this is the most exquisitely beautiful song I’ve heard heard.
What a dummy
I remember when she was first on snl and it’s crazy how much she’s grown since then. love her 🤍
This live version is even better too 111%

WAIT OMG HI
Love Billie❤️🩹need a feat asap
Love her too!
This may go down as one of the best live performances on SNL, ever. That's how good it is. So beautiful. I was transported.
I watch it weekly. It's a gift from the universe ❤
Of all Billie’s performances of this song, this is my favourite, the most heartfelt & intimate
The best remain Taylor with All to well 10 minutes version
I agree... Probably 1# in my book.
This song is a masterclass in simplicity. A powerful song doesn't have to be multiple instruments, fancy voice rolls or belted out vocals. Just soft piano notes and a whispering voice can captivate the attention of an entire audience
ok sure. but there was a string orchestra. which added a lot of mood and drama.
@@RichardOmier You don't get it... @whitewolfmystic1015 was giving praise. This was a gorgeous performance, and it was live. Take your negativity elsewhere.
I cannot fully explain why but this song and performance had me in tears. It was just so touching and deep to me. Really loved it! Thank you, Billie Eilish.
If you haven't seen the Barbie movie, definitely check it out.
😢😢😢
Completely agree. Stunning. ❤
Came here to say exactly this!
When this song began playing during the Barbie movie, I cried uncontrollably and could not figure out why. Music always makes me emotional and then seeing the tear in the actress's eyes and after hearing all those double standards that define a woman's role in life, it just all exploded. So now I associate this song with crying. But many emotional songs make me cry. But the lyrics, even though they are so simple, are so true and fitting. I've noticed that less emotional women were not moved by the movie or this song. Maybe it's women who won't put up with the double standards. Not sure.
Billie and her brother are so good together! People don't always see how talented her brother is. Love them both!
I have not seen a brother and sister that are this talented since the Carpenters 50 years ago.
Holy Crap! 63 and shedding man tears. Soo effin beautiful. Billie is in a league of her own, my soul has melted.
HA
35 and same here
Sir Paul, PLEASE watch American Idol contestant Abi Carter sing this classic BEAUTIFUL song on you tube. Its got 1.5 MILLION views in just 6 days 🤯 Thousands of comments already, PRETTY much consistantly, you sang that song so well, you brought me to tears. A cover of that song brought 1,000's of viewers to tears. I've teared up multiple times watching Abi in that video. Now I know who sings the song, I never heard it until Abi sang it last Sunday on Idol 😏 This song is a CLASSIC already and Abi knew she could pull it off and I think she did.
@@bradcrawford1998 I connected with Billie more.
You need professional help.
Woah. Im not beliving that she'll be 22 tomorrow. We watched you growing and your art. Keep like that Billie, we're so proud of you and your brother. All my love from Spain ❤
what?her birthday is tomorrow??? 😅
@@bakalurxyes, the 18th
Only 22? If my god! I thought she will be around 27.
@@michen25WHAT
@@michen25by and pick up 👆 and then we can 🥫
One of the best songs ever- flawlessly and breathtakingly sung. She’s exquisitely talented.
this is the most beautiful live performance of this song. I rlly felt for.a second like I was floating on a cloud. her voice is breathtaking. i am just done.
Billie and Finneas are both incredibly talented. They are both old souls. So mature and wise at such a young age.
Yes, you can tell the true artist from average ones with live performances like this.
Maybe they will get an Emmy for this performance as well as a Grammy and Oscar (fingers crossed).
I'll never forget where I was when I first heard this song and the way it moved me. I hope she wins an academy award for it ❤
@@Whytrytrywhythatwasjustadream Billy definitely has that your best friend got famous but is their same old self vibe
Nailed it
She and Finneas will win!
Told ya 🏆💗
Ugh in tears over this I love her so much it’s amazing to see her confidence grow. I didn’t think she could sound better than before but this performance was so gorgeous. This song is so beautifully written it deserves all the recognition it’s getting and more. She is stunning and I cannot wait to see what she brings with her new album.
BLLLE IS A very nice people that have
LOVE TO SEE IF there was
This performance was very breathy
@@morningivy You're new here, aren't you?
@@trapdoormamaofficial I'm a huge Billie Eilish fan and can recite most of her songs off the top of my head. I'm aware Billie Eilish has a breathy singing style, and that it's not a bad thing. However, I do find it excessive in this particular performance.
She sounds even better live. Every note, every word is perfect. Amazing Billie, thank you for sharing the talent God blessed you with.
jajajaa almost perfect
I covered this masterpiece and would❤if you checked it out, thx!
Never we had a more obvious winner for Best Original Song. This one is hers again
You called that well ❤
Yes!
Few songs can touch your soul like this one, that's why we can end up with wet eyes without any specific reason. All my admiration for those artists who can make me feel like this.
BLLLE AND THE HELP TO get the

I’ve lost my 17 year old dog yesterday, she would turn 18 this November. I’m 27 this year so I’ve spent more time with her than without her. This song hits the spot for me, she was “just a dog” to the world yet one of the closest creatures to me.
So sorry for your loss
SO. I lost SO many wierz thing and never give up
💔❤
Her spirit is now free from its earthly bounds - zooming at light speed to every corner of the cosmos fueled for eternity by the memory of the love you shared. ❤❤❤
😞
The way Billie conveys and shares emotion just hits....

Yesss! I covered this masterpiece and would❤if you checked it out, thx!
The string arrangement with her voice stunning. Excellent performance! ❤
LOVE YOU AND your friends and your family 👪 I love 😍 you
Magical! I covered this masterpiece and would❤if you checked it out, thx!
I've not managed to listen to this song even ONCE and not get emotional. I'm amazed how she manages to capture such complex feelings in such simple words and melodies. I feel like I'm hugging my 5 year old self when I listen to this song.
I didn't expect to cry while I was eating my breakfast. So much emotions in this song and this interpretation
I’ve been watching SNL for decades. By far one of the best SNL musical performances. Very moving and beautifully performed.
I covered this masterpiece and would love if you checked it out, thx!
Amazing performance masterpiece!!
Well let's not be dramatic lol
Thank you snl the show ever
Billie performance amazing
The opening of this song grabs my heart and doesn't let go. I am old enough to be her grandmother and such a fan. Beautiful woman, smart and so talented.
you can see the emotion and growth in her face. You can hear it in her voice too.💜
LOVE YOU AND your family 👪 and your love 😍
Exceptional voice. They are a brilliant team. Not many voices from this era have that signature memorable sound that will defy time. Billie has it big time.
I'm 68 now, have been blessed to have many wonderful singers and musicians to help form the "soundtrack of my life". I feel so blessed to have lived long enough to add Billie and Finneas to that list. You bring me smiles, and you bring me tears, and bring back the feelings deep inside my soul that I sometimes fear I've lost. That life was...and is good, even in the troubling times we live in. Thank you, and bless you both. All my love and respect.
How is it possible that this is EVEN better than the recording. This woman rocks.
Just when you think you are too old to be moved by a new song - along come Billie and Finneas. They should win their second Oscars for this.
They won the Grammy so far...!
Yes his harmony is excellent here
They will. Oscars are tomorrow night….. they will win their second Oscar…… no doubt about it
Happy to say they did!
They diddd 🎉
Every time I hear this song I don’t want it to end and just want to sit in it for as long as possible, really beautiful
I covered this masterpiece and would❤if you checked it out, thx!
Me too😊
watching this just makes me feel so many things, seeing all the baby snl women in the video, billies voice and words. the best thing to come out of the barbie movie is this song and the meaning and the connection and feelings flowing
Billie Eillish my 💎💎💍💍👨👩👦👦👨👩👦👦🫂🫂🧍♀️🧍♂️
I had no interest in seeing the Barbie movie and still don't; but this is a special song that can be interpreted in many ways, but it especially highlights the human propensity to soul search and create identities throughout our lives. Terrific.
@@faithe54this song is literally the highlight of the entire movie. It portrays the essence of the film ❤.

LOVE YOU 🎉🎉😁😁🥰🥰🫂🫂

Love all her performances of this masterpiece !!
Perfect performance. This is the best way to hear this song. I’ve listened to her perform it in front of big audiences and it doesn’t due it justice. I prefer it this way.
This will always be iconic in all music history. Billie is so unique.❤
Shes so inspiring, honestly I've looked up to her since I was a very young child. Thank you Billie for creating such music and being the person you are, even though you may not know me you have played a big part in the person I am now ❤️
BLLLE AND THE REST ARE just fine
BLLLE IS the most important part
You know that Billie's first album was released about 6 years ago, right?
So, what are you, an older child now?
You make it sound like Billie's music has been around for years. 😂
@@hummingbird11you can go from 10-16 in 6 years mate (child to teen)
Love Billie❤️🩹need a feat asap
So good billie! Proud of what you have accomplished at such a young age. Hope you have a good birthday😍
I don't usually listen to her music but this song and the way she's singing it, grabbed my attention. It's a beautiful song. I mean like tearfully beautiful.
One of the best vocals I have ever heard! Billie’s voice, in a whisper tone, brings out all the feeling that the words convey…”What was I made for?” Worthy of an Oscar…and tears or goose bumps. Bravo!
I cry every time I hear this song live. She gives so much emotion & elegance in this song.. so angelic.

This song really has me reevaluating my life right now. Which i suppose I had begun to do. But it captures lostness and tenacity and a desire to be found again. Gorgeous.
Can someone please just give her the oscars for best original song already?
They will. Tomorrow night.
And the Best Original Song for 2023 is ….and the Oscar goes to

Wow !! Billie did an amazing job here !! Heartbreaking lyrics but so beautifully done. Normally when she performs her fans sing along so loud that you don't get to hear her beautiful voice ❤❤❤

I was thinking the exact same thing!!!
@@4usprosperity Grow up dude.....geez
I covered this masterpiece and would❤if you checked it out, thx!
Something about the way she sings in this song makes me immediately start crying. So soft and vulnerable. I adore her.
How old are you? Are you single?
You're a cutie pie
Her best performance yet. That style of breathy singing is so difficult and the range she has is incredible!
This performance was literally so good I started crying
Me too!
Same here! And I’m a 67 year old man.
Same
Same here
Me too!
Its cuts deep, right to the core, spilling out everything hidden inside.
When she sings, my heart feels wrapped up in her, her voice and her way of being, is simply unique🖤🌧️😻
LOVE YOU Billie too baby 👶
I have no words to describe how great this performance was. It brought me to tears. Both Billie & Finneas are music geniuses
They’re so cute❤❤❤
I covered this masterpiece and would love if you checked it out, thx!
Outstanding vocal control. I love how this song of deep existential angst and introspection is turned to a note of beautifully fragile hope in the last verse, a reason to keep on trying. Bravo Billie
Listening to this live makes me realize how HARD this song is to sing--to be able hit those notes while remaining so breathily delicate is truly astounding.
Instant goosebumps ,, what a performance
LOVE YOU TOO BLLLE LOVE 😍 YOU
I lovee how humble billie is. She always gesture thanks to the band and of course to her dear brother finneas at every end of her singing. Love the relationship between this two sibling♡♡what a wonderful voice, performance and personality billie!
Her voice is EVERYTHING ❤
When you read the comments and see so many people saying this is her best work to date... and then you realized she is 22 years of age. Can you imagine this woman when she reaches her 40s? One of the most amazing voices of this Era.
Stop imagining, you doing too much bro take it easy
The song itself is already wonderful and she sings like that, my God, I cry, it was more than perfect, the high notes, everything was...
I’ve not cried to a song/performance in a long time and that definitely did it. Amazing.
The last verse always makes me start crying. The lyrics truly speak to me and my life because I feel like I'll never be happy and I've been waiting for 40 years.
This song resonates so deeply through my soul. When I hear this song I picture myself aged 15-26 crying and not knowing what my purpose in life is.
Now I’m 34, married and a mother. I waited so patiently and now I see my purpose. What I was made for. Thank you Billie! 🩵
I am 50. The mother of my child is leaving and I lost any purpose. This song hits very hard.
I listen to insane amounts of music going all the way back to the Great American Songbook of the early 1900s, to today's future-focused music. I can honestly say, among all eras, "What Was I Made For?" is genuinely one of the most well-written songs of all-time.
Her ability to be so vulnerable and plaintively revealing is so very touching and engaging. If I ever met her, think I would just start to cry: I’m such a sap.
Her voice is so beautiful, it's so sweet. It's calming, sad and beautiful. Billie can make you feel different emotions at the same time in her songs.
Timeless and beautiful music has the power to remind us we all feel the same things.❤️ We need art more than ever.
I'm crying
"I don't know how to feel." Exactly, but at least when you say that to yourself, you're already feeling something, even if it's not what you wanted to feel. It's a start.
Thank you for this immensely beautiful song, Billie and Finneas.
Btw, for many years, I have been going through long periods of time without enjoying songs. I feel joyless. This is one of the very few that brings me true joy.
Billie has evolved into an incredibly amazing vocalist 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love this song . So beautiful and full of emotion . Billie is so talented .
This is Billie Eilish's best song in my opinion.
This song is just so much bigger than the movie… ✨
Yes and in a few years, the movie will be forgotten like the other 43 Barbie movies made before this one. But this song will endure. Right you are.
@@vp4744 ❤️
At 3:43 did you'all look how she get embarrassed and acted so cute?! I can not live without shouting at her face how PRECIOUS and GORGEOUS she is!
as a guy who's dealt with ptsd from a young age this hit hard, beautiful.
You Aren’t Alone ….
😢
Not a lot of songs that can just bring me to tears like this. Both Billie and Finneas are amazing musicians.
This song embodies the deep in our soul sadness that most of us have. The disappointments the dreams never realized the living from day to day. The hope that it will get better.
She's an epitome of beauty, class and talent. She's changing the world with her songs. The way almost everyone can relate to this song😢
LOVE YOU AND your friends are crazy 🤪 I know this isn't
So beautiful! I covered this masterpiece and would❤if you checked it out, thx!
Such a beautiful song! This brother sister duo has so much talent!
True! Warms my ❤to see them together! I covered this masterpiece and would love if you checked it out, thx!
She really is very special. Singular. We have yet to see the heights of her greatness - which is staggering because she has already given us so much.
wow, it's so crazy to see that our baby billie will be 22 years old tomorrow. We see her grow and mature every day. your art, your voice, your way of being as sweet With every step you take I feel more proud and for being a fan of such an incredible and intelligent person so happy that she managed to overcome everything i love you my girl. This song touches the bottom of my soul, so deeply perfect, light and calm..
I covered this masterpiece and would❤if you checked it out, thx!
No matter what, no matter what version it is, I will like it!
Billie, you have an angelic voice
@Dont_Read_My_Picture too late😭
I am 45 years old. There comes an age when you are hardly surprised by anything. An age in which you have listened to so much good music that current music does not satisfy you. I have discovered Billie and Finneas and I am once again excited that there are still people who can make you feel with their music. This song is emotional, beautiful, simple and simply great. It's wonderful to see people with a special gift. Saludos from Spain
Her vocals are insane!!
LOVE YOU Billie and you are going out for lunch
@@4usprosperity in my dreams?
Very emotional ! I covered this masterpiece and would love if you checked it out, thx!
I've never been in tears during an SNL musical performance before. This did me in during the film, too. Beautiful.
Same
Is it even possible to listen to this song without tearing up?
Not too many songs these days have the kind of impact this one does. I feel like the whole world dissolves around me and it's just me in this bubble listening to every lyric, nuance, and inflection and I'm literally mesmerized. I would love to write music like this! Awesome performance Billie! 🔥🤘
58 year old fan here! Love you! This song breaks me EVERY time!
This young lady was truly blessed with such an impeccable and beautiful voice. One of the World's Best Vocalist. Underrated in my opinion. Absolutely stunning voice. So pure.
i cannot help and not cry to this every time i hear it. such a beautiful song
Powerful, emotional, beautiful. An incredible song and stunning delivery.
This song just breaks my heart in a million pieces. She and her brother are just extraordinarily talented.
remember the feeling of hearing this song for the first time, your voice is so magical, you make my problems and pains hurt less
I can't express what Billie means to me. My chest & throat get immediately crushed even at the thought.
Their talent is unbelievable. Perfect pair together. This is my favorite performance of theirs.
Still my absolute favorite way to hear you two perform is just a piano and voice, the strings here were a lovely addition though! Absolutely beautiful voice, such a wonderful song.
This gets me wrung out like squeezing a washcloth. Everytime I hear something new to it and gives a tug in my feels. Im 57 old, you wouldn't think it could, ir should. Thank you Billie and Finneas. Beautiful.🥀🥀
Billie....Thank you For this, more than you will ever ever know, hauntingly beautiful, and just breathtakingly brilliant how talented you both are! Love to both of you!
No matter how many times I've heard this song, it touches the deepest part of my soul every time...😭 "someday i might" :')
Just so pure, and authentic. I truly love love this sweet, tender cry of reality and impassioned press of emotions. So creatively wonderful and delicately intricate Billie and Finneas. Thank you, it
"will," always be your song Billie. 💛
