As we reported here, Pop icon Mariah Carey was tapped to record the theme song for ABC’s ‘black-ish’ spinoff, ‘mixed-ish.’ Starring Mark Paul Gosselaar and Tika Sumpter, the series – set to hit screens September 24 – will unveil its pilot immediately after the new season premiere of its forerunner.
Speaking on the show’s opening tune, titled ‘In the Mix,’ Carey took to press to say:
“As a biracial woman in the entertainment industry, there was no way I did not want to be a part of mixed-ish, especially after seeing the pilot, which I loved.”
Now, after a month of ample teasing, we finally get to see just what Mimi cooked up for the comedy. Tapping “dem babies,” her children Roc & Roe, to assist, hear the finished product inside:

Cute. I wish more shows would go back to theme songs. Loved them.
She sounds wonderful….
Love me some mimi
Caution and 8th Grade deserved Radio airplay. s***, grown and produced to the gawds
One of Mariah’s best Vocal deliveries in a long time! So happy upbeat dancey Mariah song
Im glad Teela got a new gig BUT…does that mean The Haves And The Have Nots got cancelled without a proper finally? Shame on Oprah if that is true!!!!!
This cute, fun, and family friendly. I think that MC did the theme song justice and she be very happy with the results and the video was cool too. Job well done to all involved.
*long Wendy pause*…………………………………*looks around*……………………………………………………………………………………………….NO.
That was very cute. I’m someone of mixed race, I can’t wait to see the show.
These are not nick cannons kids. They should be 3/4 African American. Mariah’s ego probably altered the DNA
Thank you. Them kids ain’t mixed they black
African Americans average 70% African and the rest European. Mariah’s mother is a 100% European which is the norm for white Americans/migrants from Europe. Mariah’s Dad is from Latin America. The average Latin person is a mixture of European, Indegenious, and African. Mariah’s real surename is Nunez. Those kids are mixed. They will not be treated or considered black in society. You act like Mariah’s kids look like Nick, Viola, or Blue Ivy. Let’s not pretend here. Society treats you how you look. Those kids would blend in with your average Latin population. Who are you trying to fool here? Stop that racist one drop rule.
That boy has wrinkles in his face like his dad he even smiles like Nick.
They are not Black. They’re mixed race. Their mom is Afro-Latino and White and their dad is Black.
Mariah is mixed. So even if they have more African/American blood because the dad is 100% so, they still are mixed. Facts are facts. Point blank.
Actually it’s Mariah’s grandpa (on her dad’s side) who is from Venezuela.
His family name is Nunez and changed it to Carey when he migrated to the US to avoid discrimination.
But she said it didn’t help much because Carey sounds very Irish and he was still suffering from discrimination (+ being dark skinned).
That’s what she said during an interview in Brazil or Argentina that you can find on YouTube.
Then her grandpa eventually met her grandma who was African-American.
And her dad was born.
Down the line her dad met her mom who is apparently 100% from Irish descents.
I’m surprised she barely talks about her latin origins nor never used such sounds in her music.
America and their stupid fixation on race.
This is the dumbest comment Ive ever read. When will you dummies learn that appearance and skin color does not dictate what your actual blood and genetics are. Black and mixed people come in ALL different shades and looks. Amerie is half black and half asian and looks more “black”. Mariah is half Afro-Latina and half white and looks more white. Some generations beyond your partents sometimes have stronger genes and will dominate a few generations ahead. So dumb.
Awesome
Crazy B**** needs to hang on some way you know she cannot sing or act like Whitney Houston….
….
Mariah wanna know why she’s not getting the tv specials and soundtrack like Beyonce the industry keep trying to tell Mariah Carey she’s not s*** compared to Whitney Houston she never was…..
WOW Love it! A boop. Sounding great in a track like this.
