In addition to contributing music to the movie’s soundtrack, Lipa also makes a cameo in the film, as a mermaid version of the iconic Mattel doll.
The musician reflected on the movie in a May 2023 interview with Dazed. “Barbie, the doll, has this idea of what perfection should be,” she said at the time. “The film—and there’s a lot of diversity in the cast—is touching exactly on the buttons that maybe it presses, and shows a different story.”
Of how “Dance the Night” fits into the film, she added, “Greta said that the whole film was inspired by disco. There’s a lot of very glittery and pop moments in it.”
