“Barbie Girl“ is a song by Danish dance-pop group Aqua. It was released in April 1997 as the third single from the group’s debut studio album, Aquarium (1997). The song was written by Søren Rasted, Claus Norreen, René Dif, and Lene Nystrøm, and was produced by Johnny Jam, Delgado, Rasted, and Norreen. It was written after Rasted saw an exhibit on kitsch culture in Denmark that featured Barbie dolls.
The song topped the charts worldwide, particularly in European countries such as the United Kingdom, where it was a number-one hit for four weeks and remains one of the best-selling singles of all time. It also reached number two in the group’s homeland and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it remains Aqua’s biggest hit single and their only one to reach the top 10 of the Hot 100. It is Aqua’s most popular work. The song was performed as the interval act in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001. It also became the subject of the controversial lawsuit Mattel v. MCA Records.
he lyrics of the song are about Barbie and Ken, the dolls made by Mattel. Both the song and its music video feature Lene Nystrøm as Barbie and René Dif as Ken. As such, the lyrics drew the ire of Barbie’s corporate owners, and a lawsuit was filed by Mattel.
A footnote on the back of the Aquarium CD case precisely stated that “The song ’Barbie Girl’ is a social comment and was not created or approved by the makers of the doll.“ “Barbie Girl“ is written in the key of C-sharp minor.
“Barbie Girl“ received critical acclaim. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic called the song “one of those inexplicable pop culture phenomena“ and “insanely catchy“, describing it as a “bouncy, slightly warped Euro-dance song that simultaneously sends up femininity and Barbie dolls.“[4] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that “with her squeaky, high-pitched delivery, Lene Grawford Nystrøm fronts this giddy pop/dance ditty as if she were Barbie, gleefully verbalizing many of the twisted things people secretly do with the doll.“ He noted that “at the same time, she effectively rants about the inherent misogyny of Barbie with a subversive hand“, adding that René Dif is an “equally playful and biting presence, as he embodies male counterpart Ken with an amusing leer.“ Scottish newspaper Daily Record stated, “Love them or hate them, you have to admit Aqua’s silly doll song is pure pop and the video is great, too“. David Browne from Entertainment Weekly described it as a “dance-floor novelty that alludes to the secret, less-than-wholesome life of every little girl’s fave doll.“ Another editor, Jeremy Helligar commented, “There must be something in that Northern European water. Like recent tunes by their Swedish-pop counterparts Ace of Base and the Cardigans, these Danish newcomers’ frothy debut is fun, fun, fun — but oh so disposable.“ Insider stated that “Barbie Girl“ is “sugary sweet“ and “totally catchy“. A reviewer from People Magazine called it “the year’s best novelty record, a cartoonish anthem you’ll need surgery to remove from your head.“ Also Pop Rescue wrote that “this song is fun, undoubtedly catchy, and bouncy, with the personas of Barbie and Ken fitting perfectly with the vocal contrast.“
The song ranked number 88 in a VH1 countdown, “VH1’s 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders“. In 2017, BuzzFeed listed the song at number 76 in their list of “The 101 Greatest Dance Songs Of the ’90s“.
The music video for “Barbie Girl“ was directed by Danish directors Peder Pedersen and Peter Stenbæk. It depicts the band members in different scenes that a Barbie doll would be in. Uploaded to YouTube in August 2010, as of February 2022 the video has more than 1 billion views.
