Ronson recently revealed that the “I’m Just Ken” song almost didn’t make it into the film’s final cut following screenings to studio executives.

“At that first screening the song wasn’t working. I panicked,” Ronson told The Times of London recently. “The humour wasn’t translating and Greta [Gerwig, director] had to fight. The studio asked her how much she really needed it and she said, ‘With every inch of my body.’ And then there was a big swing.”

Ronson also opened up about what inspired the Oscar-nominated song, saying, “It is the 1970s, the book Elton and Bernie wrote. A piano ballad that is sort of proggy and a bit 1980s too. A bit Handbags and Gladrags. Or it could be Robbie Williams… Maybe I’m just overdramatic.”
