Background and release

Шаблон:Quote box

On August 5, 2019, Carey confirmed that she will release "In the Mix", serving as the series' theme song.[1] Carey's children, Moroccan and Monroe, provided some background vocals on the song. Her musical director at the time, songwriter-producer Daniel Moore II, produced the song along with Carey.[2]

On September 17, 2019, Carey debuted the song to partygoers at the "Embrace Your Ish" premiere event at Goya Studios in Los Angeles, alongside Mixed-ish creators Kenya Barris and Tracee Ellis Ross.[3] The song was released in conjunction with ABC Studios instead of being released on Epic Records, the label Carey was previously signed with. Epic had already decided to part ways with Carey as Carey's previous album on Epic, Caution, sold only 80,000 units globally and failed to chart any singles on any major music markets. " In the Mix" would also fail to chart on any main major music charts.

Critical reception

Althea Legaspi from Rolling Stone called the chorus “uplifting”, and described Carey’s whistle register as “tingly”.[4]

Music video

On September 17, 2019, the accompanying music video was released on ABC's YouTube channel and features clips from the show, as well as footage of Carey and her children recording the song in the studio.[5]
