In honor of the 25th anniversary of Friends, self-proclaimed Friends fan Meghan Trainor has covered the theme song.
The iconic theme is ‘I’ll Be There For You’ by The Rembrandts and Trainor’s cover is spot on. She was tapped by Warner Bros to perform the song as a special accompaniment to the Friends-themed light show on the Empire State Building. The top of the building lit up in the colors of the series logo – red, blue and yellow.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Trainor declared she was “over the moon” to have been chosen for the task. She took the challenge very seriously and to make sure the cover was perfect, she got her friends and family together to sing the track with her.
“I actually cut the vocals in my backyard in my studio, with my little brother, my older brother, my husband, and my best friend,” Trainor told Rolling Stone. “And we were just all laughing and in disbelief. Like, ‘How is this really happening?’ It was a big party, the best night.”
Friends celebrated the 25th anniversary of the first episode over the weekend (September 22).
