15. The show’s creators, Marta Kauffman and David Crane, wrote the theme song

The iconic theme song “I’ll Be There for You” was actually written by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, the creators of the TV show ‘Friends,’ along with Michael Skloff and Allee Willis.

Initially, the American rock band R.E.M. was approached to grant permission for their song “Shiny Happy People” to be used as the theme for “Friends.” However, they declined the opportunity.

As a result, “I’ll Be There for You” was composed, and Warner Bros. Television chose the only available band signed to Warner Bros. Records to perform it.
