Calling all Barbie girlies! A new featurette from the Margot Robbie-led movie has dropped and it’s incred. Not only do we get some clues about Ryan Gosling’s Ken character arc, we’re also getting a brand new Mark Ronson song. 

It’s giving boy band, it’s giving big himbo energy, and it’s giving camp musical theatre. What more could you want?

The new clip starts off with Ken in the midst of an existential crisis, declaring that he doesn’t know who he is without Barbie, before launching into the heartfelt ballad. 

We also get a rebellious Ken walking aimlessly around Barbieland wearing an oversized fur coat, black fingerless gloves, and a thin bandana around his head. Of course, his coat is conveniently left open, because who is Ken without his abs? 

It looks like all of the Kens are going to come together in a very unserious and dramatic way, and at one point they appear to be riding imaginary horses past a pink car. Yep, this movie looks like it’s going to be a Lynchian fever dream, and we’re not mad about it. 

Some of our fave Kenergy lyrics from ‘I’m Just Ken’ include: 

  1. “Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blond fragility?” 
  2. “‘Cause I’m just Ken/Anywhere else I’d be a ten”
  3. “Doesn’t seem to matter what I do/I’m always number two”
  4. “I’m great at doing stuff/So, hey, check me out”
  5. “What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan?”
