Mercury Records released the stirring song "Freedom (Theme from Panther)" in 1995. More than sixty African-American female musicians from pop, R&B, and hip-hop groups and artists make up the chorus. En Vogue, Xscape, Aaliyah, Vanessa L. Williams, Mary J. Blige, MC Lyte, SWV, TLC, and Monica are among the notable contributions. "Freedom" was recorded immediately following the 1995 American Music Awards. In addition to uplifting women today, the song honors historical black resistance figures such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, and Angela Davis. It is a version of a song by Joi from her album "The Pendulum Vibe," released in 1994.

"Freedom" peaked at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The music video for the song was directed by Antoine Fuqua.[2]
