Friends Theme Song

“I’ll Be There for You”, performed by The Rembrandts, is the theme song to the hit American sitcom Friends which began airing in 1994. Although The Rembrandts write most of their own songs, this one was written specifically for the show by Michael Skloff and Allee Willis.

After a Tennessee disc jockey looped the short song into a full-length track and played it on the air, it became so popular that they had to record it. “Our record label said we had to finish the song and record it. There was no way to get out of it,” lead singer Phil Solem said, in an AP wire story widely quoted at the time of the final episode of the show.

The song was almost not included on the album LP that The Rembrandts released a year later in 1995, but the decision was made at the last minute to add it. Originally the song was not released as a single (and album sales were boosted because fans bought the entire album to get a copy of the song), but radio stations played the song constantly anyway. When the single was finally released, it made number 2 in the UK and reached number 17 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Though rarely heard on UK radio after its early popularity, the song was frequently played on UK pop radio in 2004 around the time of the end of Friends, demonstrating the popularity of the show and the magnitude of the song.
