"Call Me, Beep Me!", or "The Kim Possible Song", is the theme song for the Disney Channel animated series Kim Possible. The song was written by Cory Lerios and George Gabriel.{{cite book|author1=Thomas S. Hischak|author2=Mark A. Robinson|title=The Disney Song Encyclopedia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dimhg9t2TrUC&pg=PA28|date=29 July 2009|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=978-0-8108-6938-7|pages=28–}}

In the song, Kim Possible (the main character of the series) tells listeners to "call" or "beep" her if "there's trouble", no "matter if it's day or night", and promises she will not fail them and will rush to help. Thus, it reflects the use of modern-day mobile technologies.{{cite book|author1=Sumanth Gopinath|author2=Jason Stanyek|title=The Oxford Handbook of Mobile Music Studies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N2_eAgAAQBAJ&q=%22Call+Me+Beep+Me%22&pg=PA374|date=March 2014|publisher=OUP USA|isbn=978-0-19-991365-7|pages=374–}}

The original version of the song, which played over the opening sequence of the 2002 series, was recorded by Christina Milian and is a catchy punchy Motown-flavored R&B number.{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2002/07/22/its-kim-possible/6501ec7b-b105-4a6b-b1f7-e4eb87b7eba9/|title=It's Kim Possible|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=2002-07-22|accessdate=2019-01-11}}{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8492946/sadie-stanley-kim-possible-theme-song-call-me-beep-me-disney-channel-live-action-movie|title='Kim Possible' Theme Song Updated for Disney Channel Live-Action Movie: Exclusive Audio|magazine=Billboard|date=2019-01-10|accessdate=2019-01-11}}

In 2015, the original version of the song claimed the number one spot in the ranking of the "Disney Channel Theme Songs of Yesteryear".{{cite web|url=https://ohmy.disney.com/music/2015/09/18/ranking-the-disney-channel-theme-songs-of-yesteryear/|title=Ranking the Disney Channel Theme Songs of Yesteryear|work=Oh My Disney|date=2015-09-18}}

The song is also used as the theme song for the 2019 live-action film adaptation. In addition to Millian's version returning and being used in the film's opening sequence, a new version was produced for the film, sung by its lead actress, Sadie Stanley. Her version received a modern dance-pop arrangement and differs greatly from the original version of the song.{{cite web|url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/disney-remixed-kim-possible-apos-145701724.html|title=Disney Remixed Kim Possible 's Theme Song With Vocals From Reboot Star Sadie Stanley|work=Teen Vogue|date=2019-01-11|accessdate=2019-01-11}}
