I'm Always Here
"I'm Always Here" (also known as "I'll Be Ready") is a song by Jimi Jamison and it is most recognized as the theme of the popular 1990s TV series Baywatch, used for seasons 2 through 10.

Jamison is credited as the lyricist on this song along with Joe Henry, who co-wrote the Rascal Flatts hit "Skin" (not to be mistaken for the Joe Henry who wrote Madonna's "Don't Tell Me"). The music is credited to Cory Lerios and John D'Andrea. The line, "I won't let you out of my sight," whilst appropriate song for a TV series about lifeguards, is more likely related to a commitment to a girl, telling her that the singer will always be there for her. An instrumental version was used as the ending theme of seasons 6 to 9 and a different instrumental version was used as the theme for season 10 (the first season of Baywatch: Hawaii).

 German dance act Bass Bumpers had a UK hit single in 2006 with a mash-up of the song and "Phat Planet" by Leftfield. This new version was entitled "Phat Beach (I'll Be Ready)" (with the group being credited as Naughty Boy on this Ministry Of Sound release) and got to number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.
 A soundalike version was used in the Hey Arnold! episode "Summer Love" over the end credits.
 Swedish group Konditorns recorded the theme with Swedish lyrics for their album K2 (2012), titled "Jag är alltid här" which is a direct translation of the phrase "I'm always here".
 The album version is melodically different from the single version due to the year release of both.

 In 2005 Andrew Spencer created a house version of the song featuring Pit Bailay on the vocals, it provided quite some success in german clubs as well as in a few other european countries.
