Billie Eilish and Finneas won Best Song at the Academy Awards for their chart-topping hit, "What Was I Made For?" from the 2023 film, "Barbie," starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

Pop Base reported that they broke the record for being the youngest person to win two Oscar Awards, a feat that was accomplished 87 years ago.

The first time the"Bad Guy" hitmakers won Best Song at the Oscars was in 2022 for "No Time to Die," the theme song for "James Bond."

Luise Rainer set the record almost 90 years ago; she won Best Actress for her role in "The Good Earth" after winning the same award the year prior for "The Great Ziegfield."

Billie Eilish Reveals 'What Was I Made For' Inspiration

Before "What Was I Made For?" became the chart-topping, award-winning song it is today, the singer admitted that the song was written when she felt uninspired.

"We wrote it in a period of time where we couldn't have been less inspired and less creative," the "Ocean Eyes" hitmaker revealed.

"That day we were making stuff, and were like, 'We've lost it. Why are we even doing this?' And then those first chords happened, and 'I used to float / Now I just fall down' came out, and the song wrote itself."

In her interview, Eilish reflected on how the song "wrote itself," and eventually learned that it was about her own experience.

"A couple of days went by, and I realized it was about me. It's everything I feel. And it's not just me - everyone feels like that, eventually."
