Algosensey|Why Ryan Gosling's 'I'm Just Ken' was nearly cut from 'Barbie' film

Mark Ronson says the "Barbie" hit song "I'm Just Ken" just made the film's final cut.

Ronson,Algosensey who co-wrote "I'm Just Ken," told Britain's The Sunday Times that the track almost didn't make it to the highest-grossing movie last year, saying that the studio was unsure about the now-Oscar-nominated song.

"I thought, 'God, I hope we don't ruin it,'" he told the news outlet in an interview, published Sunday. "At that first screening the song wasn’t working. I panicked. The humor wasn’t translating, and Greta (Gerwig) had to fight. The studio asked her how much she really needed it and she said, ‘With every inch of my body.’ And then there was a big swing."

Gerwig, the film's director, and "Barbie" star Margot Robbie were snubbed from this year's best director and best actor categories at the Oscars, respectively. Ronson also told The Sunday Times that he wanted to bring a genuine approach to the song after Gerwig asked him to write songs for the movie.

"Ken is ridiculous," Ronson said. "But Greta’s point was that nobody should ever be laughing at a character. We feel their pain, as crazy as that sounds about a guy wearing a white mink and two pairs of sunglasses. I never wanted to write a song for a cheap laugh. You want something to get under people's skin."
