“Speed Drive” was preceded by global megastars Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s iconic “Barbie World,” UK-based artist and producer PinkPantheress’ captivating track, “Angel,” global recording artist KAROL G’s high-energy anthem, “WATATI (ft. Aldo Ranks)” and the electrifying lead single “Dance The Night” from 3x GRAMMY® Award-winning global superstar Dua Lipa, who also makes a special appearance in the film. Upon release, “Angel” was praised by THE NEW YORK TIMES for its “dreamy melody” as ELLE dubbed it “an unexpected party anthem.” “WATATI” was also immediately met with critical acclaim with ROLLING STONE calling it a “reggaetón party” and HOLA! stating it’s an “exciting addition, poised to be a hit.” The high-energy anthem is complemented by its official visual directed by Mike Ho and starring KAROL herself as she enters the actual World of Barbie, shot on-site in LA – watch HERE. Produced by Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and the Picard Brothers, “Dance The Night” arrived alongside a dazzling official video featuring a special appearance from Barbie writer/director/executive producer Greta Gerwig (“Little Women,” “Lady Bird”) – watch HERE. Upon release, V MAGAZINE called the track “disco-pop perfection,” NPR described it as “undeniably glamorous,” BILLBOARD asserted it has “one of the sleekest bridges in mainstream pop this year,” and INSTYLE declared it “our new summer anthem.”

“BARBIE THE ALBUM” continues the hugely successful partnership between Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Pictures.
