Star-Studded Lineup Revealed for "Barbie: The Album" Soundtrack, Featuring Nicki Minaj's Highly Anticipated Track "Barbie World"
The much-anticipated Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig is set to redefine pop culture, and its accompanying soundtrack, "Barbie: The Album," boasts an impressive roster of top-tier talent.
With already released hits like Dua Lipa's "Dance The Night" (which also marks her acting debut as Mermaid Barbie) and exciting collaborations from KAROL G and Aldo Ranks, the album adds another surefire hit to the mix.
Joining queer icons Lizzo and Charli XCX on the tracklist is none other than Nicki Minaj, the ultimate Barbie herself, teaming up once again with "Princess Diana" collaborator Ice Spice for a track titled "Barbie World."
The song samples Aqua's iconic 1997 hit "Barbie Girl" and was teased in the latest Barbie trailer. Fans can expect its release on June 23rd, but Nicki Minaj has generously shared a snippet of the song in a recent clip.
The superstar duo delivers their verses over the infectious backing track, rapping, "And I'm bad like the Barbie (Barbie) / I'm a doll but I still wanna party (Party) / Pink 'Vette like I'm ready to bend (Bend) / I'm a ten so I'm pullin' a Ken (Like)."
They continue, "Jazzie, Stacie, Nicki / All of the Barbies is pretty / All of the Barbies is bad / It girls and we ain't playin' tag."
Initial reactions to "Barbie World" on Twitter have been mixed, as fans and listeners share their opinions. The devoted Barbz (Nicki Minaj's fan base) have shown overwhelming support for the teaser, expressing their excitement for the track.
"The real Barbie is coming," exclaimed one social media user, while another simply stated, "It's a hit."
Comments like "Mothernika," "A classic incoming," "I'm gagged like...," and "We will be number one" further solidify the anticipation and positive reception for this collaboration.

Directed by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, the upcoming film "Barbie" features a star-studded cast of queer talent and beloved actors, including Hari Nef, Issa Rae, and Ncuti Gatwa.
While the details of the plot have been kept under wraps, Gerwig has hinted that the movie draws inspiration from vibrant, technicolour musicals like "The Wizard of Oz." A brief summary suggests that Barbie, after being expelled from Barbieland for not conforming to the perfect doll image, embarks on a journey to the human world in search of true happiness.
The latest trailer teases that Barbie "knows the truth" about her own existence, adding intrigue to the storyline.
"Barbie" is scheduled to release in the UK on July 21st, accompanied by the release of "Barbie the Album," which will be available for fans everywhere on the same day.
