Gerwig — who cowrote the Barbie script with her husband, Noah Baumbach — previously stated that it took some coaxing to get Gosling, 42, to sing the number in the film. The Little Women director also revealed that snuck into some screenings during Barbie’s opening weekend to catch people’s reactions to it. “I went around to different theaters and sort of stood in the back, and would then also turn up the volume if I felt it wasn’t playing at the perfect level,” Gerwig noted.
