Official “barbie&ken” lyrics:

two little girls
with their heads up in the clouds
dreaming like the rest
didn’t stick out from the crowd
but between themselves
they knew that they were different
but they pushed it down
cause nobody would even listen

their parents always saying “girl when you grow up you’re gonna find a nice man make sure you’re pretty enough. you’ll be living a life like barbie and ken, cmon suck it up and forget this nonsense”

what if it’s not ken but barbie?
why should she have to say sorry?
tell me do you even listen,
to all the dumb shit you’re slipping?
we can love who we want to
don’t say she’s not supposed to
if it’s not ken but barbie
she doesn’t have to say sorry
no not to you
not to me
not to anyone
not to you
not to me
not to anyone

hiding how she feels
saying things like “love ain’t real”
all just to conceal that she’s
not society’s ideal
hearing what they say
about those who feel the same way
she’s really not okay
tells herself it’s just a phase

her parents always saying “girl when will you see, you don’t know what you want, trust us, we know what you need. you’ll be with your own ken, oh so happily, it’s no way to live with another barbie.”

but what if it’s not ken but barbie
why should she have to say sorry
tell me do you even listen
to all the dumb shit you’re slipping
we can love who we want to
don’t say she’s not supposed to
if it’s not ken but barbie
she doesn’t have to say sorry
no not to you
not to me
not to anyone
not to you
not to me
not to anyone

she never wanted ken, but barbie
she never ever has to say sorry
nobody is gonna listen
to all this dumb shit your slipping
we can love who we want to
don’t say she’s not supposed to
it’ll never be ken, but always barbie
and she doesn’t have to say sorry
to you.

I'm bisexual and hearing how my parents talk about lgbtq+ scares me to come out to them so this song makes me cry every time...

[mia-yepj]

omg i love this i didn’t even realize that this was a WLW version

[zhelme]

Remember
Even if you don't need Barbie
Or you don't need Ken
If you don't need neither
If you don't wanna be Barbie, but Ken
If you don't wanna be Ken, but Barbie
If you don't wanna be both Ken and Barbie
You are still special.
Never forget that.
Never apologize for being yourself.
Love you all.

Her Parents always saying, "girl when will you see, you don't know what you want, trust us, we know what you need" ....hits in many different ways.... and they don't really ever know what we need....

[ly.zonevv]

I apologize for the lgbtq people who receive bad things from people, i know it's hard but i just wanna say that you are an amazing and lovely person! believe that you are beautiful, i love youuuu! this is coming from a 13 year old, it's sad to see people suffer just because of gender. please live your life happily, those people who discriminate you can take their bullshit and leave the door!

THERE'S THE DOOR BITCH!

My daughter came out as bisexual in 4th Grade and Pansexual in nearly 5th grade when she realized it wasn't just "traditional" males and females she was attracted to. She shaved her head. Started shopping in the "boys" section. Her hair was down to her bottom for years. While I may have shed a brief little tear over her long and beautiful hair of nearly a decade falling to the floor, I can honestly say I loved her shaved head EVEN MORE. I love her soooo much and how she feels and who she loves will NEVER change that. I support her. I wish that for any young person struggling to come out to their parents because they think they won't accept them.
I may not know you but I love you and accept you!!!!

[ev-sb]

Hearing people in my year at school and other years making ‘gay’ jokes and laughing at people that ‘look gay’ and then listening to this song gives me so much confidence and yet almost makes me break down in tears wondering whether the world will ever accept our community :’)

[sadiehunt]

I love this I'm actually a lesbian and this is how I came out to my parents they are christian and don't support me but still know I'm there daughter and love me

[jivikakulkarni]

I'm straight but I'm crying uncontrollably, that's the impact this song has ...❤️❤️

[actuallyasnail]

I'm bi, and once my sister was telling my dad about a song from a woman in the 70's (or something I dont remember) and she was saying that song was secretly for another woman. My dad dint even wait a second to say : "that is disgusting, don't you think so?" and I was so sad that he thought that being in love with another woman would make a woman disgusting, that I didn't even know what to say 💔

[Hi-cujh]

As a lesbian I hate when adults say " it's just a phase" bc it's not it's who you are. Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🌈👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

[karla]

I already needed the female version, just perfect✨

[causetaekookisinmyblood]

She is an artist who can speak to the heart

[rhegenalberca]

"Just a phase" I manipulated my mind to think that too until I finally came out to my parent and although she doesn't fully accept me, I still felt happy with no more hiding. Now I can finally put up the lgbt flag I secretly bought 😌

[atsukopuff]

I sent this to my teacher and she showed the class. After the video, she said “This is showing a lot, you can date whoever.” She looked at me…and smiled. Maybe I did get a lot of backlash, but my friends and my teacher was there for me. I feel accepted.

[kittyscarlettxo]

It hits hard when you relate to the song I’m bi (or lesbian) and I told my parents who I thought would be supportive but they just said that it’s just phase as I’m too young to know even though I’m 16 and that it’s not natural or normal... and that in a couple of years I’ll be normal again

[None-kybp]

Your voice is so angelic and the song is so pretty

[emeeeeeeeee]

This song almost made me cry this morning, it’s making me question my sexuality

[leafyveins]

I'm 28, and the way Gen Z sings for LGBTQ+ rights makes my chest do the inflating balloon feeling and my eyes make happy salt water. I love you Gen Z. You are doing amazing.

[kimberlyooo]

My mom doesn't know that I'm pansexual but whenever I say I don't like a boy she asks me if I like girls but I just responded with no bc I don't want to tell her yet but she says that she'll love me no matter what whether I was to be a boy or a girl or if I like a girl or a boy I will be her child and that she'll always support me and that made me tear up bc I'm nonbinary to
