Listen: Reba Releases New Sitcom Theme Song
Reba McEntire has teamed up with renowned songwriter Carole King to write the theme song for her upcoming new NBC comedy, Happy’s Place.
The song, released by MCA Nashville, is available across all music platforms and will also debut on the Happy’s Place series premiere, which is set for Friday, Oct. 18 at 8 p.m. Happy’s Place will stream the next day on Peacock.
Reba said, “I’m so happy for the opportunity to write the theme song for Happy’s Place with my good friend, Carole King. It just doesn’t get much better than that! I hope my fans will love this song as much as they did the theme song for the Reba show.”
McEntire posted to Instagram, “We’re opening our doors in exactly one week! I can hardly wait! The official theme song is out now #HappysPlace.”
Happy’s Place stars Reba McEntire as her character, Bobbie, who inherits her father’s tavern (Happy’s Place) and is surprised to discover that she has a new business partner, Isabella, played by Belissa Escobedo, a twentysomething half-sister she never knew she had. The series also stars Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, and Rex Linn.

Reba recently invited Lainey Wilson to be a member of the Opry when Lainey appeared on NBC’s The Voice.
Lainey told us, “When Reba asked me on The Voice, she walks up and she had this little box and my birthday was a few days before. She had this little box and I thought maybe she was giving me a cupcake or something. I thought how cool is this Reba’s gonna give me a cupcake.”
She continued, “But it wasn’t a cupcake. I was completely shocked. My family also got to be there for that one. I’ll tell you that it’s hard to wrap your head around the fact that I have Reba McEntire and love and she truly has become a friend. And when I look at her and her career I see a woman that has stuck to her guns, never done anything to step outside of who she was in her character, but also wasn’t scared to take that leap of faith and try things that she’s never done.”
She concluded, “And so it means a lot when someone like Reba kind of gives you that nod of approval I guess you could say.”
