It's awkward being with anyone in the studio for the very first time, because it's a vulnerable place. On getting Ryan Gosling in the studio to track "I'm Just Ken" All you can ever tell is: Is it making you excited when you're in the studio? And I sent off the demo to Greta, and she wrote back so enthusiastically. I got to the piano and I found chords and a melody that I thought was good. I wasn't even thinking, at that point, I'm going to write this song by myself, or write the lyrics.
I think I was walking to the studio one day, my studio in Manhattan, and " I'm just Ken / Anywhere else I'd be a 10" - it just came to me. All he wants is just for this person to feel the same way about him that he feels about her, and that's never going to happen. Maybe it was because I knew Ryan Gosling was playing, so I had the advantage of picturing him saying every line as I'm reading this script, but he just got his hooks in me, that character. On writing the song "I'm Just Ken" (despite not being a lyrics guy) We were like, "Wow - let's just make their song this thread that we weave through the film." Andrew and I had been working on a lot of pieces for the more emotional moments, and some of them, oddly enough, weren't really that dissimilar to what Billie and Finneas' song was. When we heard it, Greta and I - I think we got it at the same time - we immediately called each other like, "This song is just insane." I was basically like, "What is wrong with these kids? Why are they so good? They're so young.". Such an understated thing for this wonderful song that she was about to send to us. They saw the film, and I think Billie texted maybe a day or two later - like, "wrote something," with a smiley face. On how "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish and Finneas became the film's emotional center
And while all of those elements are important to the songs that made it to the soundtrack, he knew the movie's background music shouldn't be a distraction: "You're there to support the emotional undertow of the film at that moment." "When you're making a pop song, you're constantly thinking of of hooks and melodies and ear candy," he says. "It was just so wonderful to see how every artist took what they saw, took the conversation with Greta, and everyone ran with it and did something different."Ĭoaxing great ideas out of pop stars is familiar territory for Ronson, but his instrumental score for the film, co-composed with Wyatt, was his first such project - and he admits that making it work meant stifling some of his usual instincts. "And that's what's so great about a lot of the songs that people wrote, because they seem so bespoke," Ronson says. The process seemed to work after watching an early version of Barbie's car chase scene, Charli XCX wrote " Speed Chase" for the soundtrack.
