"Call Me, Beep Me!", or "The Kim Possible Song", is the theme song of the 2002 American animated television series Kim Possible. It was written for the series by Cory Lerios and George Gabriel.
In the song, Kim Possible (the main character of the series) tells listeners to "call" or "beep" her if "there's trouble", no "matter if it's day or night", and promises she will not fail them and will rush to help. Thus, it reflects the use of modern-day mobile technologies.
The original version, played over the opening sequence of the 2002 series, was recorded by Christina Milian and is a catchy punchy Motown-flavored R&B number.
Since then, the song has been covered by many artists, notably by Priscilla (2006) in French, by the groups Preluders (2004) and Banaroo (2006) in English, Beni in Japanese, and by Kiki Ting in Taiwanese.
In 2015, Christina Milian's original claimed the number one spot in the ranking of the "Disney Channel Theme Songs of Yesteryear"
The song is also used as the theme song for the 2019 live-action film adaptation. In addition to Millian's version returning and being used in the opening sequence, a new version was produced for the film, sung by its lead actress, Sadie Stanley. Her version received a modern dance-pop arrangement and differs greatly from the original.
