Lyrics:

Let’s party

Barbie's been a princess way too long
Barbies got a gun with no safety on 
Barbie needs to listen, when I fuckin talk. 
Barbie thinks Ken is about to get shot. 

ken and barbie
sitting in a tree
K I L L I N G

barbie and ken 
in a pink dream house
two go in,
Only one comes out

i cut you
you cut me
we bleed in perfect harmony

i cut you
you cut me
we bleed in perfect harmony

Hey Ken, 
Yeah Barbie? 
Do you wanna fuckin party?
Do you wanna lemme tie you to the back of my Ferrari?
Will let me cut your head off if I tell you that I’m sorry?

Kens got the axe and he’s ready to attack,
Bout to go Amityville on your plastic ass. 

barbie's in pink but my glock is jet black
roll your eyes one more time and i'll make it kick back 

ken and barbie
sitting in a tree
K I L L I N G

barbie and ken 
in a pink dream house
two go in,
Only one comes out

i cut you
you cut me
we bleed in perfect harmony

i cut you
you cut me
we bleed in perfect harmony

Let's party!

For people that have been following my project since the beginning, you know that before I even started posting music on tik tok I was posting content about bands I loved. Set It Off has always been one of those bands. Every chance I got growing up I’d be sure to go to meet and greets buy albums etc. and I’ve always been in love with the way they can bring both pop and theatrics into edgier music. Although sonically I ended up in a slightly different realm the energy I have was largely influenced by them. Getting to work with and becoming friends with this band has been one of the most full circle moments for me as a musician and you can see and hear how much fun we had making this track. It’s meant to be a fun and crazy mash up of our two worlds and a nod to something we were very stoked on walking into the session that day… Mr. and Mrs. Smith .. I mean Barbie & Ken 💖

[mixtinmal]

I'm going to be completely honest? His ability to walk like a living Ken doll is hilariously accurate to what I thought it would be, the looks are on FIRE, and I love the aesthetic.

Thank you for this banger.

[hannarose]

Barbie and Ken are immortal and literally cannot die. The pressure to be perfect got to both of them and one day they snapped. Now they are in an endless loop of murder and bloodshed, because it is the only thing that gives them any sense of joy. In this essay I will

[spacesugar]

I love how cody’s pink hair perfectly matches the barbie aesthetic

[yurfves]

"Hey I mean Ken"

Damn that must've hurt😭

[lillykonkle]

Set It Off, the band that shaped my taste in music, and Scene Queen, who is my new favorite artist alongside the Nova Twins 😭 Can't wait to hear this song!

[phaniluuabreu]

“ You shot me! “ the distorted laugh WAS THE BEST PART

[penta]

I didnt think my parents marriage would make such a good bimbocore song

[StickmanAnimations]

"will you let me cut your head off if i tell you that im sorry" best line in a song ever

[doodlebug]

I just met a girl who absolutely loves scene queen. She showed me scene queen. I showed her set it off. This was around the time this video came out. OMG
Edit: @ everyone saying we should get married: The song really did predict our relationship, or at least how badly it ended (We were just friends though) :( In my Cody Carson era rn.

[savoryovary]

i absolutely love this video and song for three distinct reasons:

1. the aesthetic is spot on. pink puke, plastic, please let me leave this perfect dream house. iconic.

2. it reminds me of the fucked up barbie games i’d play with my sister when we were kids. she agrees it’s similar. our barbie’s and kens were in endless relationship cycles of love bombing, cheating, demonizing, and graciously making up. this brings back all of that nostalgia, and is probably what was being said while we smashed their naked plastic bodies against each other.

3. at times it really reminded me of the relationship between my narcissist mom and doormat dad. the passive aggressiveness made me feel at home.

[singsins]

the plastic creepyness is SPOT ON and the vocals on “we bleed in perfect harmony” ARE PERFECT I LOVE THESE ARTISTS WITH ALL MY GAY HEART

[telosay]

Cody’s hair this era really synced nicely with the aesthetic of this music video

[m_rave]

THIS IS THE COLLAB I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED
IT'S SUCH A MASTERPIECE, THE BRIDGE, JUST *chef kiss*
Also the faces of Zach and Maxx are hilarious 😂.

[bonsairyan]

Who doesn't love a video of two hot people pretending to be dolls and unaliving each other?
Apparently a lot of people, but phooey to them, y'all are gorgeous and your voices are 10/10!!

[Waffles-ewcr]

BARBIE BEEN A PRINCESS WAY TO LONG! 🗣️🔥🔥

[serenasass]

Honestly I love this portrayal of the "perfect couple" the nuclear family all around can be pretty toxic. I like the "we bleed in perfect harmony" line because it shows how normalized abuse can be in relationships

[farrahschneider]

It's so funny how Cody's impression of Ken is completely accurate to how I'd describe him

[DelilahDarling]

I don't know if anyone has said this before, but this entire song and the music video perfectly describe how I used to play with barbies in my childhood. And apparently, a lot of other kids would as well! It was either a whole bloodbath or murder mystery with a dash of relationship issues and driving to the grocery store in a limo. 😂

*EDIT:* All in all, I took this song as about how even the "perfect" couple could be abusive to each other behind closed doors. It's just funny to me how my mind immediately went to "Wait a minute. Did they record my younger self playing dolls?"

[LittleKittyMary]

The true relationship of Ken and Barbie😂
