Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Mariah Carey has written and recorded the theme song for the new Black-ish prequel, Mixed-ish.

"Dear Kenya Barris, ABC and the mixed-ish family, this is a dream come true. I'm so thankful this show exists and I couldn't be more honored to be a part of it," Carey tweeted at the show's creator and cast on Monday.
