In The Mix

From Mixed·ish

Mariah wrote the song “In The Mix” as the opening theme for 2019 ABC series Mixed·ish, “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,” Mariah said. “I could not be more honored and proud to be writing and performing ‘In the Mix’ for Kenya and the show.” Both the song and the music video dropped September 17, 2019, a week before the show's release date.

Lyrics

In The Mix

They keep tryin' but they can't stop us
'Cause we got a love that keeps risin' up
And yeah they fight it but we just proceed
To be who we are
Baby, you and me

In the mix
Life turns around
'Round and 'round it goes
It's a mixed up world and that's for sure
In the mix
We gonna get by
On our own, side by side
Love's all we need to be free
I got you, you got me
In the mix
In the mix

We keep it inspiring even though they set limits for us to follow
Won't let 'em break us, it's all so shadowy
Never stop striving and we gonna keep climbing up
Nah, we won't cower
We stayin' strong now with superpowers

In the mix
Life turns around
'Round and 'round it goes
It's a mixed up world and that's for sure
In the mix
We gonna get by
On our own, side by side
Love's all we need to be free
I got you, you got me

In the mix
Life turns around
'Round and 'round it goes
It's a mixed up world and that's for sure
In the mix
We gonna get by
On our own, side by side
Love's all we need to be free
I got you, you got me
In the mix
In the mix
In the mix
In the mix

Something that they can't define
It's tough sometimes
Just us surviving here in the mix
In the mix… - ish
