Ronson recorded a demo of "I'm Just Ken" and sent it to director Greta Gerwig, although he wasn't expecting it to be included in the film.

[4] [6] Producer Mark Ronson described Slash as his “all-time hero” at the film’s premiere, where he told Variety: “I sent him the song and he was like, ‘This is a good song… Cool, I’ll play on it.’ He kills it, he plays the solo at the end and the rhythm parts.

The song’s also been a constant in other popular culture as shorthand for a powerful moment of emoting. It got a shout out from a drunk Jim and Andy in The Office (US) – and who here hasn’t felt something encroaching a spiritual awakening from a couple of glasses of wine, only for it to recede again with the rest of the bottle? – and it’s had previous form as the perfect road-trippin’ tune, as Ali, Sarah and Maura from Transparent sing along to it on the way to a festival; like Barbie, it’s a song of empowerment, and to pump them up for whatever may lie on the road ahead of them.

Closer To Fine”, written by Emily Saliers, one half of the Indigo Girls, at first glance is a joyful, folksy little ditty. But the lyrics reveal that the person singing is confused about their place in the world, searching all around for a sign to point them in the right direction as to who they really are. Of all the Kenergy he brings to Barbie Land, it’s Ken’s insistence on performing a song to Barbie on his guitar at the beach, while she watches, presumably in adoration, that’s most laughable.
