Gerwig had sent Ronson a disco-inspired playlist that included the Bee Gees, leading Ronson, who lined his New York studio shelves with Barbie and Ken dolls, to come up with “Dance the Night,” co-written with Andrew Wyatt, Caroline Ailin and Lipa.
As they began to cast the soundtrack, the music team reached out to individual artists, not with the mandate to write a song specifically about Barbie or Ken. Instead, Weaver says, “We said, ‘Watch the scenes and spend time with Greta and Mark and us and let’s talk about what the musical vision is for that bespoke need, and then come back with ideas.’”fed off each other.
Not surprisingly, given Barbie’s ubiquity since Mattel rolled her out in 1959, many of the acts had a deep affinity for Barbie from their youth that they brought into the creative process with them. “The only VHS that [Haim] were allowed as kids was [from Barbie] probably from the early ‘90s. They knew every song, and they started singing them over the phone,” Ronson says.
