The song has amassed over 75 million streams.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As audiences continue to be taken by Barbie's storm, songwriter/producer Mark Ronson reveals Ryan Gosling's reaction to "I'm Just Ken"'s viral success. Gosling starred in the live-action movie adaptation of the Mattel doll line as Ken, counterpart to Margot Robbie's eponymous character and joining her in her travels to the real world to determine the source of her existential crisis.
In honor of a special event breaking down Barbie's music, The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Ronson to discuss the making of the viral "I'm Just Ken" song. In addition to recalling his surprise that the actor wanted to perform the track himself, the songwriter/producer revealed Gosling's reaction to its viral success, with Ronson having kept him updated on every milestone it crossed and the Oscar nominee feeling it to be "so surreal.
He kind of feels like someone who doesn't get caught up in the hype from the little bit that now I know about him. Even he'd be like, 'This is so surreal, I don't even know what to tell you.' I think he's a real musician, he loves music, and I think he was really touched by that and like when Slash played on it, you know? So there's certain things that he's been really, I think, excited about.
Why Barbie's "I'm Just Ken" Became A Viral Success Warner Bros. clearly knew they had a certified hit in "I'm Just Ken" ahead of Barbie's release, having released a portion of the song before audiences made their way to theaters for the movie itself.
Even with it coming prior to this reveal, Barbie's "I'm Just Ken" acts as both a celebration of Ken becoming his own being while also still being unable to grasp her disinterest in reciprocating his feelings.
