In a recent announcement, Billie exclaimed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! 'What was I made for?' will be available on July 13th at 7 am PT. !!!!!!!! We crafted this song with Barbie in mind, and it holds immense significance for me. This movie is going to revolutionize your lives, and hopefully, the song will do the same. Get ready to experience a wave of emotions!"
Billie, known for her hit song 'Ocean Eyes,' also mentioned her brother, Finneas Baird O'Connell, in the post. The siblings frequently collaborate on songwriting and production. In fact, they received an Academy Award in the 'Music (Original Song)' category at the 2022 Oscars for Billie's sensational James Bond track, 'No Time To Die'.
The highly anticipated album, 'Barbie: The Album,' will officially launch on July 21st, featuring a star-studded lineup of music superstars. Billie's new song will be the seventh single released from this 18-track album. One noteworthy collaboration on the album is 'Barbie World,' where Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice join forces, sampling Aqua's iconic 1997 hit, 'Barbie Girl'.
Adding to the excitement, Dua Lipa released her 'Barbie' song, 'Dance The Night,' in May 2023. The single has already reached number two on the Top 40 chart, a tremendous achievement presented by CTM with Danny.
The 'Barbie' fever continues to spread as another captivating song, 'Angel' by Pink Pantheress, sits comfortably at #20 on the Top 40 chart.
Lizzo, Charli XCX, and Gayle also contribute their remarkable talents to the movie's soundtrack, which is expertly produced by Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, and the Picard Brothers.
In the film, Ken is portrayed by the talented Ryan Gosling, who lends his voice to the enchanting track 'I'm Just Ken' for the soundtrack. Margot Robbie takes on the iconic role of Barbie herself, adding to the star power of the movie.
As we eagerly await the movie's release, more surprise guest artists are expected to be announced in the coming days. Mark Ronson had previously hinted to TIME magazine that two additional songs are yet to be revealed. He intriguingly stated, "One of the artists is obviously one of the f**king greatest living artists around but also had a very personal, idiosyncratic tie to Barbie as well," sparking speculations that it might be referring to Billie Eilish.
With only one more significant artist announcement left, the excitement surrounding the 'Barbie' movie and its extraordinary soundtrack continues to build. Stay tuned for the grand unveiling!
