As of writing, one major artist is yet to be revealed for the soundtrack. With some speculating if it will be Sam Smith, Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga, Ronson had this to say in an interview with Time: “[They’re] one of the f-cking greatest living artists around but also had a very personal, idiosyncratic tie to Barbie as well.”

However, it was later revealed that Ronson was referring to Billie Eilish, as she will have a song on the album titled ‘ What Was I Made For?’ In a statement posted by Pop Crave, Ronson said: “I love all these artists being thrown around. But was specifically referring to Billie.”

According to DiscussingFilms, Gosling 80s power-ballad contribution, ‘I’m Just Ken,’ seems to play on Gerwig’s interpretation of Ken, and even features musician Slash. In a recent interview with Vogue, Gerwig explained that she thinks Ken was “invented after Barbie, to burnish Barbie’s position in our eyes and in the world. That kind of creation myth is the opposite of the creation myth in Genesis.”

Gosling’s ’80s themed power ballad has truly taken the world by storm and has given the actor’s his first song on the Billboard Hot 100 as the song currently sits in the 87th spot.

As for Nicki Mina’s contribution to the album, Minaj has famously referred to herself as Harajuku Barbie, one of her rapping alter egos, since her 2010 debut, so it makes sense that she would be the artist to work on such an iconic song linked to the Barbie brand.
