Meanwhile, Barbie The Album has been nominated for no fewer than 11 2024 Grammy Awards.

And I’m Just Ken has received Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations.

Ronson presented it The Hollywood Reporter in November: ‘It was never in the script [that] Ryan started singing.

“It was like, ‘If we want Barbie’s perfect day song, we need a song from Ken’s point of view.’

Ronson and Wyatt were also not supposed to take the musical reins for the entire film’s soundtrack.

Initially they signed for only two songs: Dance the Night and a song for Ken.

Margot Robbie starred as Barbie, which became Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing film.

In September it was announced as the highest-grossing film of 2023, just a month after its release.
