Mara Brock Akil Reveals Angie Stone Created Iconic 'Girlfriends' Theme Song in 15 Minutes
Mara Brock Akil recently revealed that Angie Stone wrote and recorded the iconic theme song for the TV show "Girlfriends" in just 15 to 20 minutes during a studio session that lasted about 30 minutes because Stone had to catch a flight. Akil had called in a favor from her friend KC Saney to bring in Stone, who immediately understood the tone and energy of the show, making the recording process smooth and professional under producer Camara Kambon's guidance. After the recording, Akil and her husband helped Stone find her way to the airport since there was no GPS or texting at the time, ensuring she caught her flight on time. The theme song has since become more than just a TV opener; it is a cultural anthem that continues to resonate with fans, inspiring social media recreations and connecting generations. Akil also expressed openness to a "Girlfriends" reboot if the conditions are right, suggesting it could turn out even better than imagined. These reflections came during a "Mara Brock Akil: Forever Our Girlfriend" event, honoring the show's legacy and Stone's contribution before her passing in March 2025.
