The movie additionally featured two popular hits, “Dance The Night” by Dua Lipa and “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish. Interestingly, Robbie seemed particularly fond of one over the other, despite expressing admiration for both musicians. However, her noticeably enthusiastic response to the Grammy-winning track suggests that it might be her preferred choice.

In a 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight during film promotions, Margot Robbie, then 34, admitted that she cried upon first hearing Billie Eilish’s Oscar-winning song “What Was I Made For?” from the movie, and she still finds herself tearing up when listening to it.

Additionally, the actress from Suicide Squad shared that hearing a “real orchestra” play the theme for Barbie resonated with her. She emphasized how the musicians, all dressed in matching pink outfits, worked together seamlessly, adding an extra emotional touch to the experience.

In addition to Billie Eilish, who debuted her album titled Hit Me Hard and Soft in May 2024, Robbie praised numerous musical talents associated with Barbie’s success. These included Mark Ronson and Dua Lipa, with the latter portraying Mermaid Barbie in the movie.
