While Eilish is not among the Best Original Song nominees for the 92nd Academy Awards, her performance will follow her accomplishment as the second artist and first woman to ever win the Big Four Grammy Awards this past weekend. The 18-year-old singer also recently penned the theme song for the 25th James Bond film, No Time to Die, alongside her brother Finneas O'Connor, making her the youngest musician to write and perform for a Bond film.

Eilish took the music scene by storm with her 2019 debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, earning Platinum distinction in several countries.
