Dua Lipa<\/strong>‘s Barbie<\/em> soundtrack song “Dance the Night” was a huge hit, but it failed to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.\u00a0Mark Ronson<\/strong>, who co-wrote and co-produced the song with Dua, says her absence makes the nominations the films’ songs did<\/em> get “bittersweet.”<\/p>\n

Ronson and Andrew Wyatt<\/strong> co-wrote and co-produced “I’m Just Ken” and co-produced Billie Eilish<\/strong>‘s “What Was I Made For? \u2014 the two Barbie<\/em> tracks that received nods for Best Original Song. No more than two songs from the same film can be nominated, though, so it was Dua’s song that didn’t make the cut.<\/p>\n

Speaking to <\/a>Billboard<\/a>,<\/em> Ronson says, “It was [bittersweet] because Dua\u2019s song is still the biggest song from the soundtrack and Dua was really the first artist of anywhere near her stature that committed to the film. It really set the bar for what the whole soundtrack could be.”<\/p>\n

“So Dua definitely deserves all the credit for that,” he adds. “And it would have been lovely to have her as well.”<\/p>\n

Luckily, Dua has several things to take her mind off the snub: Her new single “Training Season” is coming out on February 16, her movie Argylle<\/em> is #1 at the box office<\/a>, and she’s going to release a new album at some point in the next few months.<\/p>\n
