Billie also tagged her brother, Finneas, who is the co-writer to many of her hit songs.

The Barbie album, which will contain 17 tracks, is set to be released on 21 July. The soundtrack will feature a star-studded lineup of performers, including Lizzo, Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, Charlie XCX, Ava Max, Khalid, Haim, and more.

Surprisingly, Ryan Gosling – who plays Barbie’s love interest, Ken, in the film – is also credited as a performer on the album. The actor will deliver an 80’s style ballad as his character.
