Stupin told HuffPost that after they were unable to acquire the rights to Alanis Morissette's "Hand in My Pocket," their first choice for the theme song, the WB suggested they commission an original tune to open the show.Ĭanadian folk musician Jann Arden wrote and recorded "Run Like Mad," which was all set to be the official theme song until the very last minute, when the WB put out a series of Dawson's Creek teasers set to then-current pop songs. In a reassuring twist, "Run Like Mad" was not only one of the original choices for the Dawson's Creek opening theme, but was also written specifically for the show. "And then there came to be a point where the studio said, 'Listen, we can't afford the Paula Cole song.'"įortunately, when Sony released a special DVD version of the two-part series finale in 2003, they coughed up the funding to keep "I Don't Want to Wait" playing over the opening credits across all media, so there is a light at the end of the six-season-long tunnel. "I ended up swapping out a good chunk of unclearable music for the later DVD releases," Stupin told Huffington Post in 2012.
