Ryan Gosling is the latest star to reveal a song in the Barbie film.

In a snippet of his song from the highly anticipated film from director Greta Gerwig, Gosling is seen belting out a song as Ken.

The clip begins with Gosling as Ken telling Barbie (Margot Robbie), “I just don’t know who I am without you,” then saying, “It’s Barbie and Ken. There is no ‘just Ken.'”

The video then goes into a clip of Ken in his feelings with his power ballad, which includes lyrics that speak to some of his struggles, including being “No. 2” to Barbie.

“Doesn’t seem to matter what I do/ I’m always No. 2/ no one knows how hard I try/ I have feelings that I can’t explain/ driving me insane/ all my life been so polite/ cause I’m just Ken/ anywhere else I’d be a 10,” he sings while wearing outrageous outfits, including a fur coat.
