"Freedom (Theme from Panther)" is a song originally recorded and written by Joi, for her album The Pendulum Vibe (1994). A cover version of the song was released as a single and theme song for the 1995 film Panther, by Mercury Records. Produced by Dallas Austin and Diamond D, and vocally arranged by Angie Stone, the single brought together some of the era's best-known recording artists, including En Vogue, Aaliyah, Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and TLC. "Freedom (Theme from Panther)" was recorded immediately following the 1995 American Music Awards. The song honors historical black resistance figures such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, and Angela Davis.

"Freedom (Theme from Panther)" peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The music video for the song was directed by Antoine Fuqua.[2]
