"Freedom (Theme from Panther)" is the theme song from the 1995 film Panther, released as a single in April 1995 via Mercury Records, which also appears on the film's soundtrack. 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 cover version of the song by Joi from her album The Pendulum Vibe, released in 1994.
