According to the Daily Mail, Billie appeared at a songwriters roundtable arranged by The Hollywood Reporter and revealed that she struggled with writer's block before tackling the Barbie song.

The seven-time Grammy Award winner detailed, "I was sitting on a couch and my brother was playing those cords. We were thinking and talking about Barbie's ability to be perfect all the time followed by her inability to do everything perfectly."

The Bad Guy hitmaker stated that she was unsure about the meaning of the song until she sang it for a friend and realized that it felt personal.
