“It was so last minute that I don’t think any of them had really heard the song when they came into the studio,” he told Vulture. According to songwriter Kurt Farquhar, the producers (one of whom was his brother, Ralph) had gone through “a virtual who’s who of artists” and snagged a deal with Solange and Destiny’s Child at the eleventh hour. The ensuing excitement wasn’t unfounded: Her sister, Beyoncé, had agreed to sing backup with the other two-thirds of Destiny’s Child.
In July 2001, Disney Channel announced that the theme song for its upcoming animated series The Proud Family would be performed by Solange Knowles, then a virtually unknown 15-year-old who had never released any music. The Proud Family // “The Proud Family Theme Song” “When she was singing it with me, it just gave it a whole new spin,” Goffin told BuzzFeed, explaining that the new version was more about how “there is no distance that is too far to go be with your child.” 4. She asked her daughter, Louise Goffin, to sing it with her, and the two came up with some new lyrics, including: “You never know how it's all gonna turn out, but that's OK / Just as long as we're together, we can find a way.” When King’s friend Amy Sherman-Palladino approached her about using the song for Gilmore Girls in 2000, the ’70s singer/songwriter saw an opportunity to give it a makeover.

But if you grew up listening to the original version on King’s 1971 album Tapestry, you might have a different association. If you grew up listening to Carole King’s “Where You Lead” usher in a new episode (or rerun) of Gilmore Girls, you might consider it the ultimate mother-daughter song. “So I emailed it over and almost immediately responded and said, ‘I think the right response to this is: F*** yeah!’” 3. “I remember thinking to myself, ‘I hope they like this because if they don’t, I actually don’t know what else to do,’” he told NME. Though Britell had collaborated closely with the show’s creators throughout the first season, he was still nervous to send them the track.
