The 17-track “Barbie the Album” arrives on July 21, and the tracklist was announced late last month with two “TBDs,” one of which is now confirmed to be the Eilish track. It features a star-studded lineup of performers who, thus far, all seem to be performing Barbie-themed songs written specifically for the film. Artists include Eilish, Lizzo, Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice, Karol G, Charli XCX, PinkPantheress, Ava Max, Dominic Fike, Khalid, The Kid Laroi, Tame Impala, Haim, Gayle and Fifty Fifty FIFTY feat. Kali.  Gosling also also joins the roster of soundtrack artists with an original song performed as his character, Ken. Judging by its title, the Eilish song continues the Barbie lyrical theme.

The album’s tracklist (with a guess at the Eilish track’s placement) follows below:

1. Lizzo – Pink

2. Dua Lipa – Dance The Night

3. Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice – Barbie World (with Aqua)

4. Charli XCX – Speed Drive

5. Karol G – Watati (feat. Aldo Ranks)
