You can’t get KenoughBarbie, right? Well, at least that’s what Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson are hoping as a new version of ‘I’m Just Ken’ is landing this Christmas season.

The mega-hit from Greta Gerwig’s film featured pretty heavily on a lot of people’s Spotify Wrapped playlists, and now they’ll be hoping it might secure a festive number one. Sharing a behind-the-scenes look on Instagram, the official Barbie page shared a snippet from the new song, which you can watch below.
