The song’s lyrics, such as “You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere” and “I’m a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world,” depict the Barbie doll as a passive, objectified figure in a world of plastic perfection.
The playful tone and catchy melody mask a deeper critique of how society values appearance over substance.
The line “Life in plastic, it’s fantastic” highlights the artificiality and unattainable standards set by consumer culture.
Aqua’s use of humor and irony makes the song a light-hearted yet poignant commentary on the pressures of conforming to societal beauty standards and the commodification of identity.
