the way she uses Barbie's (and Ken's) "existence" as a metaphor is brilliant - "don't tell my boyfriend, that's not what he's made for" - beautiful but scathing too
@mythra7174 seems like that is, in fact, your goal to be "that person." I'm not sure what you could be otherwise trying to achieve with that comment. Stop being sorry and be better.
This song was written for the Barbie movie and plays at an emotional part in the movie. Billie talks about how when she was writing it, she was writing from Barbie's perspective, but over time realized just how much the lyrics actually related to herself. Another song that Billie and Finneas wrote for a movie is "No Time to Die", written for a James Bond movie. I recommend listening to that song next because Billie's vocal performance is impressive, and the song has a very clear James Bond feel to it! Another song I recommend is Oxytocin, just because of how different it is from everything else she has done. Also there's a new Billie Eilish Album coming next month! Very exciting!
I agree that Oxytocin would be a great one for them! To me, there is something about it that reminds me of Nine Inch Nails that I think they would find compelling.
if you're behaving that way, you might not be very comfortable in your own masculinity, or you might have some misogynistic issues you need to work on. good luck. hope you find a way to be kind one day. ✌️@@Algorithmalchemy
@@dedo7326 What about letting people have their own emotional responses without shaming them? Billie might not be the deepest thinker, but if it resonates with someone, let it resonate
I've been asking for Everything I Wanted since they started the Billie journey! And yes, like Meggsy said, they started with When the Party's over because of Sleep Token's cover. Sleep Token's journey brought them into Billie's world.
this song represents perfectly the feeling of growing up and getting our innocence shattered in the real world... which is a very important theme in the Barbie movie, specially from a girl's perspective
Don't shy away from Billie live, that's some of her best stuff. She did this song at the Oscars with a different vocal approach and all she did was make it even better!
Billie and Finneas were asked to write BARBIE's heart song for the movie by GRETA GERWIG [Director]. Billie says [Billie Eilish: "What Was I Made For?" Barbie & Songwriting APPLE MUSIC, July 13, 2023] that this was 100% written with only BARBIE in mind and about 3 days later she realized it was also Billie's life! Barbie moves from the her world where she is happy and successful at everything to the human world where she experiences pain, sorrow and bewilderment. "Don't tell my boyfriend" - that's BARBIE's KEN - he, too, is only made for happiness by MATTEL. The little crown that falls off the desk with the earthquake represents "You should see me in a crown"; as I think you may have heard by now, Bilie & Finneas got their 2nd Oscars for BEST ORIGINAL SONG and Billie is now the youngest 2 time Oscar winner in the history of the OSCARS [Finneas, 2nd youngest]. I think one has to see this song in the context of it's purpose - for the BARBIE movie and it made the movie - few words, but the song hits the heart (for me Both her GRAMMY and OSCAR performances were stellar [the 2nd verse is deleted in the Oscar performance]. P.S. Eric's shirt was perfect for this reaciton - the yellow!
You should definitely watch the version of this song from the Oscars - it was phenomenal and got her a standing ovation from the teary-eyed crowd. And then she won the Oscar to boot. 💕
hearing this song at the end of Barbie in context with the footage of how it feels to be a woman broke all of our collective hearts and was a moment of true sisterhood worldwide. the importance of this song in context can’t be overstated. ❤
Hostage is one of her songs that I feel is overlooked, but lyrically it is sooo good. The music video makes it even better. Highly recommend checking it out!
YES! Hostage is one of Billie's best songs and 100% her most underrated video IMHO. I absolutely love it. How was she only 14/15 when she wrote/recorded it?
I'm not in a good position in life right now and this song will always hit hard for me. "I'm sad again. Don't tell my boyfriend. It's not what he's made for." Because a lot of people think my mood changes, sadness, and irritability is because of my relationship. It's not. It's a battle I'm fighting within me, it's a battle I'm fighting with myself. My relationship is perfect, my boyfriend is everything I could ask for. I do not want to burden him with my inner battles. I'm also aware communication is key and we communicate this together, but my issues are something I can only fix for myself. My inner battles are not what he is made for.
Billie Eillish and her brother Finneas wrote this song together (amongst other songs they do together) for the movie Barbie. They also won their 2nd Academy Award for Best Original Song. She also mentioned in her acceptance speech that she wrote What Was I Made For during a time when she was having a tough time. Finneas is the one thats on the piano btw. Great reaction to an unapologetic creative, emotive, and all around talented artist.
This song especially if I watch a video make me emotional all the time! It's mind-blowing for me how it was written for a fictional character but it's almost autobiographical to Billie's career and experiences in the industry 🤯
To think she almost gave up on making music before writing this song is crazy, Billie is so special and we don’t deserve her! She’s just an angel blessing us with her voice ❤
i recommend the video Everything I Wanted by Billie. I also would love to see you react to the video of Billie and Finneas explaining how they made What Was I Made For? it's so amazing all the layers and small touches in the song. I also recommend Happier Than Ever video if you haven't seen it yet.
I love the way that Billie is always so honest. It makes her music so relatable. I love the way she directs her own videos to bring even more to the meaning. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM IN MAY!
I love how she sings this song. Ive heard covers where the singer sings with power and is loud and belty but it just made the song unbelievable for me. Who ask or sings existential questions with their whole chest full of confidence lol. She nailed that vulnerable , do i even want to know the answer to what im asking sound. Like its hopeless and hopeful at the same time
I have two brothers that I haven’t seen in 4 years, and you both remind me of them. Thank you for being wholesome and showing your big hearts on the internet 🩶
I'm so glad y'all doing Melanie. You won't be disappointed in any song. All her work is creative and you might not always relate but it's something DEEP!
Yes you saw a crown. The outfits represent "barbie clothes" But they are Billie's clothes from her videos or things she has worn to events. She was a big barbie fan as a child so she wanted to embrace that in the video, and if you pay attention to what Billie herself is wearing and her look, she is the classic barbie and her iconic portrait silhouette with her hair etc. The wind and turmoil represent the turmoil in the song and makes sense to her life and the barbie movie 😊
This song makes me cry every time she gets to the part about how she is not happy but she can be. I feel very identified with the lyrics of the song and without a doubt It's one of my favorites so far. Thanks for the reaction guys!
In the live this morning, Eric said a reaction should be out tomorrow !! As long as everything works out since Next Semester got taken down due to copy write
Yes !! I love you guys so much. Yes please more billie, the 30th n that album is so emotional and amazing, also "everything i wanted" made me binge her music before i really listened to her. Keep it up guys n thank you so so much.
This song makes me cry every time. This song in movie was so powerful..that I hiccup cried Also knocked loose released three new songs..idk if you've done them..
I sacrificed myself to watch this reaction! I ball my eyes out every single time I hear this song! It was worth it though because I am always interested in hearing what you guys have to say. Thanks for more Billie, see y'all in the next reaction.
Her new album comes out next month. It’s called “hit me hard and soft.” Billie is the cover story for Rolling Stone Magazine next month. It hits stands on May 14th. Her album drops 3 days later. Rolling Stone is saying this new album is her best one yet. I can’t wait to hear it!
I’m a born and raised metal head. It’s in my blood. But Billie has a solid place in my heart. You can’t ignore the emotions she brings to the surface. She’s top tier in my opinion.
This was made for the Barbie movie, and whilst billie was writing this song she didn't think much of it, until later she realized she was writing abt herself. The mini outfits in this Music Video are the outfits she's worn in her other music videos. Loving the billie content so much, a song i'd recommend is 'No Time To Die' or 'ilomilo'
Watching this movie with my now 22 year old daughter, all of the flashbacks of her and her best friend playing barbie for hours upon hours, knowing the world we live in and all they have had to endure in their short lives so far. It broke me. There was not a mother in that sold out audience that did not have tears streaming down their faces as this played at the end.
Your power-billie eilish. I have music nights with my friends where we have a couple drinks and show each other music. This one made me, the guys, and the girls cry a bit.
the way she uses Barbie's (and Ken's) "existence" as a metaphor is brilliant - "don't tell my boyfriend, that's not what he's made for" - beautiful but scathing too
yeah,
When this song played in Barbie, I was so choked up that I couldn't breath. I wasn't ready for that movie to cut as deep as it did.
I was teary eyed listening to that one. The movie was incredible.
i wept
Literally I cry everytime I see the movie 😭
Literally was going to cry. ❤
@mythra7174 seems like that is, in fact, your goal to be "that person." I'm not sure what you could be otherwise trying to achieve with that comment. Stop being sorry and be better.
“I’m sad again, don’t tell my boyfriend, it’s not what he’s made for” always has me crying, it’s such strong statement and is honestly so relatable.
Just reading it cuts me deep. Heard for first time last night and am obsessed with her lyrics and her voice. Just a superb artist.
In my opinion her songs The 30th and TV are the most emotional (at least to me) songs from Billie Eilish. Highly recommend!
definitely, I cried the first time I listen to TV
TV is one of my favs
The 30th is awesome i always get the chills
I've been patiently waiting for them to do TV too!
agreed

@jay_break hope you're loving it now!
They won the Oscar for best original song for a movie
It's also their second Oscar for best original song for a movie.
As a dad to 2 daughters, this video tears me up every time I watch it.
If you’re tearing up over this, you might be their mother.
@@Algorithmalchemy If you feel the need to make statements like this, you might be someone who needs therapy.

@@BobKuchiKopinah dudes right. The if you cry over this you need therapy. It’s surface level at best.
@@dedo7326 What about letting people have their own emotional responses without shaming them? Billie might not be the deepest thinker, but if it resonates with someone, let it resonate
You should react to Billie’s songs “everything I wanted” and “when the party’s over”
They've done When the parties over. I think it was actually where they started with her. A few months ago.
I've been asking for Everything I Wanted since they started the Billie journey! And yes, like Meggsy said, they started with When the Party's over because of Sleep Token's cover. Sleep Token's journey brought them into Billie's world.

Don't shy away from Billie live, that's some of her best stuff. She did this song at the Oscars with a different vocal approach and all she did was make it even better!
This was part of the barbie movie. The lyrics are from Margo Robbie's character perspective. Barbie wondering why she was created
But also exactly describing where Billie was at when she wrote it!

P.S. Eric's shirt was perfect for this reaciton - the yellow!
The way her voice and breathlessness carry the lyrics of this song just gut me for some reason.
She’s haunting… I’m amazed at how she forces me to deal with my emotions rather than lock them up…
You should definitely watch the version of this song from the Oscars - it was phenomenal and got her a standing ovation from the teary-eyed crowd. And then she won the Oscar to boot. 💕
hearing this song at the end of Barbie in context with the footage of how it feels to be a woman broke all of our collective hearts and was a moment of true sisterhood worldwide. the importance of this song in context can’t be overstated. ❤
She's an ARTIST. period
You need to do her live performance at the Oscars, it's so emotional. Yes all outfits have been worn by Billie. Fantastic xx
This is the most beautiful song she sang it a lot and it still packs a punch she has won many awards with this song
You have to watch No time to Die. First the live version at the Brit awards and then the audio one. It was made for the Bond movie
3:47 why's that a comically large mug?? LMAOO 😭😭
Her voice is beautiful. A Billie and Vessel collab would be soooo heavenly. We can but dream ❤
OH. MY.GOD. I would cry so hard if that ever happened.
@@KalynDanner 🥺 me toooo FR 🥺
Hostage is one of her songs that I feel is overlooked, but lyrically it is sooo good. The music video makes it even better. Highly recommend checking it out!
YES! Hostage is one of Billie's best songs and 100% her most underrated video IMHO. I absolutely love it. How was she only 14/15 when she wrote/recorded it?
Hostage is criminally underrated
Such a good one!
I saw a vocal coach explaining the style that billie sings. Takes so much control to sing how she does. Is amazing
I'm not in a good position in life right now and this song will always hit hard for me.
"I'm sad again. Don't tell my boyfriend. It's not what he's made for."
Because a lot of people think my mood changes, sadness, and irritability is because of my relationship. It's not. It's a battle I'm fighting within me, it's a battle I'm fighting with myself. My relationship is perfect, my boyfriend is everything I could ask for. I do not want to burden him with my inner battles. I'm also aware communication is key and we communicate this together, but my issues are something I can only fix for myself. My inner battles are not what he is made for.
it doesnt need to "get bigger," the breathy technique is 1) more technically difficult and 2) fits the theme of the song perfectly
This song gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up every time. So good!
All of Bliilie is good. There is not a song but all songs to recommend. Shes so mesmerizing. Im 48 and i adore all of her music.
Billie Eillish and her brother Finneas wrote this song together (amongst other songs they do together) for the movie Barbie. They also won their 2nd Academy Award for Best Original Song.

This song won song of the year at the Grammys AND Billie won her second Oscar with this song!!!!!
To think she almost gave up on making music before writing this song is crazy, Billie is so special and we don’t deserve her! She’s just an angel blessing us with her voice ❤
The live Grammys performance is 10/10
When this song hits in the Barbie movie it’s a tearjerker
Thanks for another Billie upload! Sending you love and peace Eric
The 30th by Billie is amazing!!
i recommend the video Everything I Wanted by Billie. I also would love to see you react to the video of Billie and Finneas explaining how they made What Was I Made For? it's so amazing all the layers and small touches in the song.
I also recommend Happier Than Ever video if you haven't seen it yet.
I was watching, very emotional, and then bang, GIANT MUG, this make me laugh so hard
I love all of Eric's strange cups lol
@@michaelinthebathroom7560 me too buddy, every time i wait to see what he will pull up this time lol
@@Levi_2102 they're all so funny.

I just LOVE her voice! 🥹🫠🥰✌️🫶🫂
you should totally also give her brother Finneas a listen, i love "I lost a friend" and "Medieval" by him
Her song Hostage is a similar sounding song. You guys will really enjoy it. The video is very interesting as well. Keep doing Billie!! Stay golden!
You definitely need to do Therefore I am and everything I wanted !!! Love your videos though ❤
I'm so glad y'all doing Melanie. You won't be disappointed in any song. All her work is creative and you might not always relate but it's something DEEP!
I would love to see "listen before I go" next. Probably my favorite Billie song.

Yesssss ❤
THIS
Yeees!
In the live this morning, Eric said a reaction should be out tomorrow !! As long as everything works out since Next Semester got taken down due to copy write
DEFINITELY!!!!
Everything I wanted - Billie. It's a must. The chorus is sung by Billie but the words are meant to be Finneas' (her brother) towards Billie
Omg yes, it's my go-to song when I try to calm myself to sleep
Everything I wanted got me through one of the darkest times I had in 2019. It gives me goosebumps every time
I was JUST rewatching all your old Billie reactions when this was posted. Best day ever! lol
Yes !! I love you guys so much. Yes please more billie, the 30th n that album is so emotional and amazing, also "everything i wanted" made me binge her music before i really listened to her. Keep it up guys n thank you so so much.
This song makes me cry every time. This song in movie was so powerful..that I hiccup cried

Me too, I cry every time. No matter where I am.
She wrote it for Barbie! She actually screened the movie before it had a score and soundtrack.
You guys should react to xanny it has amazing beat copycat and idontwannabeyouanymore
Her new album comes out next month. It’s called “hit me hard and soft.” Billie is the cover story for Rolling Stone Magazine next month. It hits stands on May 14th. Her album drops 3 days later. Rolling Stone is saying this new album is her best one yet. I can’t wait to hear it!
I love how these two guys, neither of whom consider themselves pop fans, can still enjoy female pop artist's songs
It's kind of blows my mind that she also directed this video. She and Phineas are just such artists, we are lucky they've come on the scene.
Her music is pure brilliance
Everything seems so simple, yet the entire effect is so complex and multi-layered. Nice reaction. 👍
The look on Kyle's face throughout just says it all. SIGH thanks guys
She directs almost all of her videos as well!
Been waiting for this! You really gotta do everything i wanted (music video), TV, The 30th
Billie wrote the anthem to my life!
She has won 2 oscars for songs of the year for this one and the James Bond song they did couple of years ago!
Billie conceptualizes & directs a lot of her own videos.
I’m a born and raised metal head. It’s in my blood. But Billie has a solid place in my heart. You can’t ignore the emotions she brings to the surface. She’s top tier in my opinion.
I love Billies songs Hostage and Idontwannabeyouanymore are some of my favourites ❤
“Listen before i go” and “my future” are both good ones of hers too! But who are we kidding, they all are!
The giant cups make me laugh every time eric drinks from them lol
This song makes me cry every time 😭
Im not a giant billie fan, i like her stuff but this song makes me feel so much every single time i hear it
reacts to billie eilish singing what was i made for at the 2024 Oscars
one of his first songs idontwannabeyouanymore
I saw this on the Oscar's, was Amazing!!
Try Billie's "My Future"! Awesome fusion of jazzy ballad and funk
Very few songs are truly considered a masterpiece, this is clearly one that will stand the test of time. It's cuts deep across all generations.
would love to see you do Billie's "30th" song, AND more Melanie and Billie in general ;)
It’s the song from Barbie, the film. She won her second Oscar for this
This song had me crying my eyes out, when I went to go see the Barbie movie. The movie was awesome! And, the soundtrack was just as good!❤
This is my theme song. Thanks for doing this one. ❤
This was my song of the year! ❤❤❤❤ It hits hard. 😢
Phenomenal tune. Love Billie. Love her emotions. More Billie NIN please.
This was made for the Barbie movie, and whilst billie was writing this song she didn't think much of it, until later she realized she was writing abt herself.

Fellow metal head here and this song has been in my playlist since it came out. So damn good
Welcome to the Academy Award-winning emotional center of the Barbie movie. A perfect example of why that movie hits so hard and is popular.
you have to listen to EVERYTYHING I WANTED !!
Your Power is very emptional, my absolute favourite from Billie ❤
I never listened to the full song, shed a few tears.
The moment in the Barbie movie this song is used in... Man I was ready to cry, barely made it 😭❤❤❤
Watching this movie with my now 22 year old daughter, all of the flashbacks of her and her best friend playing barbie for hours upon hours, knowing the world we live in and all they have had to endure in their short lives so far. It broke me. There was not a mother in that sold out audience that did not have tears streaming down their faces as this played at the end.
Your power-billie eilish. I have music nights with my friends where we have a couple drinks and show each other music. This one made me, the guys, and the girls cry a bit.
Billie and Finneas absolutely broke me and put me back together with this song. 💞
