Fallon/AFP via Getty ImagesMORE: Billie Eilish and Finneas talk about Oscar nomination for best original songAhead of the Oscars, Eilish told “GMA3” the haunting song was deeply influenced by the Greta Gerwig-directed film.“If we hadn’t been shown the movie and talked to Greta about it, we would not have made that song,” Eilish said. “We wouldn’t have known the movie had that gut-wrenching aspect to it.”She continued, “Watching it and seeing what it was about and that scene of Barbie sitting at the bus stop and there’s that old woman sitting next to her – that scene just really got me and it made me [go,] ‘Oh, this is so much more than we all think.’”MORE: Billie Eilish and Finneas discuss the hit song 'What Was I Made For?'Eilish and O'Connell are longtime collaborators, with Eilish typically singing and her brother accompanying her on the piano. They also write lyrics and compose music together.“When we are given an assignment and a challenge, it is truly where we thrive,” Eilish told “GMA3.” “We’ll sit down and write a song and if it’s not coming out perfectly, I think sometimes we go like, ‘OK, what’s some character we can be? Let’s make up something and not have to worry about ourselves and we can write from another character’s perspective.’”The musical duo earned their first Oscar together in 2022, also for best original song, for “No Time to Die,” from the 2021 James Bond movie, “No Time to Die.”Both Eilish and O'Connell agree that it feels “surreal” to be Oscar winners but they try to keep their musical ambitions in perspective.“We never set out to make anything for the accolades. We’re trying to make it to do the best job we can do,” O'Connell said. “If we’re worrying about anyone’s opinion, it’s the audience’s opinion.”Editor’s PicksBillie Eilish on having Tourette's syndrome: 'I have made friends with it'Billie Eilish and Finneas talk Oscar nomination, and performing for Leonardo DiCaprioBillie Eilish sets 'Happier Than Ever' concert special on Disney+“We feel so lucky but I think as long as the audience is happy, we feel like we’ve done a good job,” O'Connell added.Eilish and O’Connell also won the Grammy for "What Was I Made For?" beating out Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift, Jon Batiste, Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, SZA and Olivia Rodrigo.Related TopicsOscarsSponsored Content by TaboolaPopular ReadsIsrael-Iran live updates: 71 killed in Israeli attack on Iran prison, official says9 minutes agoTrump says US strikes hit Iran 'far below ground level'Jun 23, 2:06 AMTrump admin live updates: 'One Big Beautiful Bill' clears 1st procedural hurdleJun 29, 12:57 AMSean 'Diddy' Combs trial updates: Defense closes; deliberations set for MondayJun 27, 5:27 PMABC News Live24/7 coverage of breaking news and live eventsABC News NetworkPrivacy PolicyYour US State Privacy RightsChildren's Online Privacy PolicyInterest-Based AdsAbout Nielsen MeasurementTerms of UseDo Not Sell or Share My Personal InformationContact Us © 2025 ABC News, Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell (/ ˈaɪlɪʃ / EYE-lish; 1 born December 18, 2001) is an American singer-songwriter and musician.
