Before her captivating performance, the 'Bad Guy' singer clinched the award for the best song written for visual media with 'What Was I Made For?' This marked the beginning of Eilish's impressive haul of nominations, totalling six at the ceremony, including categories such as record of the year, best music video, best pop solo performance, song of the year for 'What Was I Made For?' and best pop duo/group performance for 'Never Felt So Alone' with Labrinth.

The accolades for 'What Was I Made For?' extended beyond the Grammy stage, earning nominations for the Academy Award for 'Best Original Song' and the Critics' Choice Award for 'Best Original Song.' The track secured the Golden Globe Award for 'Best Original Song.'

Reflecting on the journey of the song, Eilish shared, "It was exactly a year ago almost that we were shown the movie, and I was very, very miserable and depressed at the time, and writing that song kind of saved me a little bit." Expressing gratitude, she acknowledged the surreal nature of the moment, feeling incredibly lucky and appreciative.
