Barbie Girl was released in 1997 by Danish pop group Aqua as a single from their debut album Aquarium. Sung as a duet between Lene Nystrøm as Barbie and René Dif as Ken, the Eurodance song became a worldwide hit and a defining novelty pop track of the late nineties. It returned to wider attention with the 2023 Barbie film era and constant TikTok reuse, where short chorus clips soundtrack fashion, cosplay and ironic doll like transformations.
