Mark Ronson breaks down how some of the Barbie soundtracks’ biggest songs came to be, from “I'm Just Ken” to “Barbie World.”
Ronson flew to England to record Gosling’s vocals. Though he knew Gosling could sing—he was a Mouseketeer, after all—Ronson said he imagined having to adjust the key down to fit the actor’s “subdued baritone.” But not only did Gosling hit all the notes, he brought an emotionality to the performance that Ronson didn’t anticipate. “He really got [that] it had to walk this line of not being funny or parody,” he says. “But obviously, the song is also kind of ridiculous at times.
Each time an artist would visit Ronson’s studio, he would hand-select a scene for them to watch to help inspire a song. When Lizzo came in, she was shown the opening credits. Originally Ronson and Wyatt had written a piece of music to play over the scene, which depicts a perfect day in Barbie World. He describes it as a “kind of thing,” and he thought it was pretty cute. But the four-minute sequence was calling out for some lyrics.
It wasn’t an easy scene to write a song around, because so much was happening on the screen. Ronson says Lizzo tried a few things, but nothing was quite working until she asked to watch the footage again. As the tape rolled, she began to freestyle over the beat, essentially narrating the action. “She said a couple things that just made me laugh out loud,” he recalls. Now, Ronson says, the film opens with “Lizzo basically welcoming you into the world of Barbie.
