‘Girls5eva’ Team Breaks Down Sara Bareilles’ Emotional Season 3 Song ‘The Medium Time’


‘Girls5eva’ producers turn to Sara Bareilles to wrap the season’s emotion in one song.

Series creator Meredith Scardino regularly sends music supervisor (and fellow executive producer) Jeff Rich- mond and his team voice memos singing her lyrics to the show’s latest absurd songs, such as “Home Alone Doorknob” or “Sweet’N Low Daddy.” “You want to wrap the emotion of the whole season up in a bow at the end, and I think that is where we always lean on Sara and her heartfelt, honest songwriting gifts to pierce that for us,” Richmond tells Variety. Bareilles’ homemade recordings are a bit more elaborate when she sends them to the team, including co-stars Renée Elise Golds- berry, Paula Pell and Busy Philipps.
