'Barbie World' features Ice Spice and remixes Aqua's iconic 'Barbie Girl'.
It's no exaggeration to say that Greta Gerwig's Barbie has been wildly successful. The film is currently the highest-grossing film of 2023 and continues to break records. But while the Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie starring film is a phenomenon, so is its soundtrack.
"From the very beginning, we had felt like having Nicki, who is Barbie essentially, be a part of this thing. We kind of continued to hone in on the idea of having her do the flip of 'Barbie Girl,' and it's just interesting because there were many moments when she was doing it and there were a lot of moments when she wasn't doing it and it kind of was happening and not happening," Kevin Weaver said.
Gerwig Was Also Involved in"I'm Just Ken"Mark Ronson also revealed that Gerwig, along with Noah Baumbach, had sent a PDF of ideas for Barbie and Ken's songs, ultimately leading to"I'm Just Ken". "Next thing I know, she's like, 'Ryan wants to sing the song.' And I was like, 'Really?'" Ronson recalled after sending the initial demo to Gerwig."She goes, 'Yeah, he said it speaks very deeply to him.' And I was like, 'Is he being ironic?' And she was like, 'I don't think so.'"
