Mark Ronson wrote “I’m Just Ken” in a higher key than what Ryan Gosling is used to singing in and while the producer was prepared to rework some things, Gosling recorded the track as-is. “He really got [that] it had to walk this line of not being funny or parody. But obviously, the song is also kind of ridiculous at times. So he was really amazing, and when he really did start hitting the big notes, I was like, this dude is a vocal powerhouse,” Ronson told Vanity Fair.

Of course, Gosling has plenty of experience when it comes to music. Aside from starting off his career on “The Mickey Mouse Club” alongside Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, Gosling was also in a band called Dead Man’s Bones alongside Zach Shields. You can even listen to their 2009 album on Spotify. Additionally, Gosling did his own vocals in the film “La La Land,” co-starring Emma Stone. In the musical, Gosling sang “City of Lights” and “A Lovely Night.” And, yes, that was really Gosling playing the piano in the film, too. “In what other job is it a part of your job to just sit behind a piano for three months and play? It was really one of the most fulfilling preproduction periods I’ve ever had,” Gosling said in a behind-the-scenes video for Lionsgate.
