Like many of the songs on this list, the “Liv and Maddie” theme is also sung by the star of the show, Dove Cameron, who portrays both of the series’ titular characters. The song uses the metaphor of listening to music in mono vs listening to music in stereo to describe the relationship between the twin sisters. The two of them may be polar opposites, marching to the beat of their own drums, but two is always better than one. Together they are two halves of the same whole, and that’s perfectly represented in this tune.

In keeping with the show's main theme of family, the lyrics of this song are all about family dynamics. Like any great family, one minute they're driving you crazy, and the next minute you want to hug them.

Their heritage is an important part of who the Proud family is, and it’s nice to see a theme song that reflects that. Oh and the track was performed by Solange Knowles with backups from Destiny’s Child!

When you can get all you ever wanted in your wildest dreams with the snap of your fingers, you might think everything would be a breeze, but everything is not what it seems.

The racing lyrics and other worldly music are emblematic of the magical themes of the show.
