“The night before the session she called me up and said, ‘Mark Ronson just called me.’ That happens if you’re Charli XCX, I guess”: Producer Finn Keane on the making of Speed Drive, from the Barbie soundtrack

Charli XCX.

We’ve already heard plenty about the making of Barbie singles What Was I Made For? And Dance The Night, by Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa respectively, and now producer Finn Keane has been discussing how he and artist Charli XCX went about creating Speed Drive, another hit from the movie’s soundtrack.

Speaking to Music Week [paywall], Keane (AKA Easyfun) explains that his involvement in the song came about after he’d been working with Charli XCX on her new record; the star got in touch to ask if he’d be willing to go back in the studio with her for a couple of days.
