In July, Eilish revealed that she was going through a period of self-doubt that went far beyond writer’s block before she and Finneas came up with theirBarbiesoundtrack contribution, “What I Was Made For?”
In aninterview with Apple Music 1 host Zane Lowe, released on the same day as her self-directed music video for the song,Eilish saidthe song only came about when Finneas found the solution to their “frustration in writing.”

“Finneas has always been the one that’s like, ‘No, no, no, let’s write. Let’s write.’ And honestly, we were in a period of time where we were both … like through this last winter, we’ve both been incredibly uninspired,” Eilish explained. “And we’ve still been working and trying to make stuff. And honestly, that song was the first thing we’d written in a minute.”

Earlier this month Finneas alsoopened up about their life in the spotlightin an interview oniHeartRadio’sSong Storiespodcastshared exclusively with PEOPLE.
“Billie gets to play these arenas and whatever, but her day-to-day life is more challenging than mine,” he told host Jordan Runtagh. “My ability to walk down the street and go into a grocery store and sit at a coffee shop and whatever is uninhibited. Maybe a kid or two that day comes up to me and goes, ‘Hey, I love you,’ or something, but it’s not a challenge.”

Finneas added that he has no interest in achieving the same level of fame and recognition as his sister, and would “avoid it” if he could.
Despite this, he acknowledged that a certain level of notoriety is required for his music to hit as many ears as possible.
