Rehearsals were scheduled to hit the floor in two weeks. With all this in mind, there was more news: Barbie would feature a highly-choreographed dance number, and Ronson was tasked with putting together the film's central groove. Speaking to the New York Times, Gerwig described the film Barbie as an 'anarchic dance-party emotional meltdown spiritual quest.' In line with the movie's chaotic good, she and Ronson wanted the soundtrack to be many, many things: poppy, playful, whimsical, nostalgic, and most importantly, full-hearted. Ronson happily signed on as the soundtrack's executive producer - in his own words, becoming ' the Robin to Batman ' - and he hopped on a preliminary Zoom with Gerwig and Baumbach while they were in England gearing up for production.Īs they brainstormed for Barbie The Album, Gerwig sent over a playlist of some of her favorite songs, which featured everything from Andrea True Connection to music from Xanadu, to what Ronson personally dubbed 'Peloton pop.' Spitballing ideas evolved into a crystal pink vision for Barbie The Album, which would be 17 tracks in total and featuring everyone from Lizzo to FIFTY FIFTY to Tame Impala to even Gosling himself. 'I was like, 'If I don't get this gig, this is gonna be my favorite movie of the year.''

'I don't read a lot of scripts, but it was just everything I want in a movie,' Ronson remembered in a Rolling Stone profile.

Drakoulias shared details about the project, and Ronson was sold. The text came from producer George Drakoulias, who previously worked with Barbie co-writer Noah Baumbach on critically acclaimed films like Marriage Story and White Noise. Ronson's nearly year-long work on Barbie The Album kicked off when he checked his phone and saw a one-word text : 'Barbie?' The highly anticipated Barbie soundtrack is helmed by Mark Ronson, the seven-time GRAMMY-winning producer known for working with artists like Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse, and Miley Cyrus. Out July 21, the fantasy comedy spotlights Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Mattel's classic Barbie doll couple, alongside a slew of other major stars including Issa Rae, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, and plenty more. From floods of #barbiegirl TikToks to ubiquitous brand collaborations, there's been no shortage of almost alarmingly efficient marketing for Greta Gerwig's upcoming blockbuster Barbie. In the last few months, seemingly all corners of the world have been painted Barbie pink. This summer, everyone's hot (pink) with Barbie fever.
