======= Personal Note =======
I legit produced and composed this song in just two days, all while recovering from getting my two upper wisdom teeth pulled – that's how incredibly motivated I was LMAO! By the way, I haven't had the chance to see the Barbie movie yet, but I'm really looking forward to it; the trailers are hilarious. I'll post an update if I've seen it and share my thoughts lol.
Back to the song, I had an absolute blast creating it and indulging in some playful, stereotypically girly lyrics – it turned out to be even more enjoyable than I had imagined. My hope is that it will be the perfect hyperpop/glitchpop track to wrap up the summer before I head back to university, which means I might be taking a brief break soon 😭. Nevertheless, don't worry, life is good, and I encourage everyone to embrace their inner Barbie and live their best life every day. Enjoy!
lyrics
======= LYRICS =======
Looked in the mirror (ooh ooh)
I wanna be her (uh huh)
Looking so lovely
Her beauty glow is dreamy
My pink mascara (so cute)
Can't see no drama (nuh uh)
My OOTD
Blowing up your news feed
Sequin dress
Rubies and diamond rings
Loving our sparkly mess
White pearls and glitter blings
One two I'll strike a pose
Headlining magazines
Yeah it's the Barbie life
Come join the fantasy
You can have it all
My primadonna girls, we want it all
I'm loving your style, show them your
Rosy cheeks, red lipsticks
Prada purse, red bottoms
We can do anything
I'm gonna live a life like Barbie
Everyday's a party
Dress up like nobody
Perfect plastic body
I'm gonna be-ya who I wanna be
Don't care about the wannabes
Dreams are my reality
A life-sized Barbie
Hey girls (Hey!)
It's Teto and Anri
Pull up in your area, black pink 'Rari (kra ta ta ta)
Always showing up on cue, no tardy
Platinum pony-tails, but we ain't no Ari
Yo (yuh) so glamorous (so fancy)
Me and my friends so fabulous (that's right)
Never tone it down if you wanna sit us (nuh uh)
Put on high heels, pull 'em weights
Let me see you wearing that (grrrr)
Sequin dress
Rubies and diamond rings
Loving our sparkly mess
White pearls and glitter blings
One two I'll strike a pose
Headlining magazines
Yeah it's the Barbie life
Come join the fantasy
You can have it all
My primadonna girls, we want it all
I'm loving your style, show them your
Rosy cheeks, red lipsticks
Prada purse, red bottoms
We can do anything
I'm gonna live a life like Barbie
Everyday's a party
Dress up like nobody
Perfect plastic body
I'm gonna be-ya who I wanna be
Don't care about the wannabes
Dreams are my reality
A life-sized Barbie
