The Story Behind the Song
Mako Mermaids is a hit show that teenagers and kids all over the world love. It was filmed on the beautiful coasts of Australia and originally started out with the name Mako: Island of Secrets. The show follows the magical adventures of mermaids living on the mysterious Mako Island.
The theme song, “I Just Wanna Be,” is performed by Chantelle Defina and Jack Dacy. It’s a bright, poppy track that captures exactly what the show is about: friendship, secrets, and the freedom of the ocean. The lyrics talk about finding your way through a mystery and sticking together “forever and ever,” which is a big part of the bond between the mermaids in the series.
The show first aired in 2013 and ran for several seasons until 2016. It became famous for its great underwater scenes and its mix of everyday teen life with magical fantasy. Even today, the opening song is a fan favorite that reminds everyone of the sun, the sand, and the magic of Mako.
