During the panel, Karin revealed that Mariah Carey, who sings the show’s theme song, would like to take part in an episode.

“She’s wanting to do an episode, so hopefully that can work,” Karin told the audience.

In a statement, Mariah added, “As a fan of Kenya Barris’ megahit shows, black-ish and grown-ish, I was inspired to connect with Kenya to find a way we could work together. 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. I could not be more honored and proud to be writing and performing ‘In the Mix’ for Kenya and the show.”
