His contributions have become an integral part of the series' identity, combining catchy beats with the fun energy of the Minions.

"Double Life" is no exception, blending Pharrell's signature upbeat style with lyrics that reflect the humorous dualities in the lives of the film's characters, including Gru and his family.
