Billie Eilish made history by becoming the youngest ever recipient of the Golden Globes for her release 'No Time To Die'. The 20-year-old co-wrote the song with her brother Finneas O'Connell for the James Bond movie of the same name.
The singer was awarded the award at the 79th Golden Globes award on January 10. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the winners were announced through Twitter with no physical ceremony.
The ballad was first released on February 13, 2020 and also won the Grammy award for the best song written for visual media. The win puts the singer one step closer to winning an Oscar, as former Golden Globes' Bond winners - Adele and Sam Smith - both went on to win Oscars.
The duo bested other nominees like Beyoncé for her song Be Alive, from the movie King Richard; Lin-Manuel Miranda for Dos Orugitas, from the movie Encanto; Van Morrison for the song Down to Joy, from the movie Belfast; Jennifer Hudson, and Carole King for the song Here I Am, from the movie Respect.
