Sam Smith drops teaser of their new ‘Barbie’ track: ‘Man I Am’
Barbie movie hits theaters this month.The movie’s producers previously announced most of the artists on the soundtrack. They left people wondering who the one remaining track would come from.
This led many Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Lana Del Rey fans to get their hopes up.On Monday, Sam Smith revealed that they are the final singer to feature on the movie’s collection of songs.Smith says they were commissioned to specifically write a song from Ken’s point of view.
Hence their new banger, “Man I Am” (which is worth pointing out as some people on social media have questioned why a non-binary artist would sing a song with that title).“I cannot begin to express how incredibly excited I am to be a part of the soundtrack to this already iconic film,” Smith said on Instagram on Monday.
They said there were “invited by the incredible @iammarkronson [Mark Ronson] and Greta Gerwig to write a song from the perspective of Ken for one of the scenes and we honestly had so much fun with this.
