Power fans and newcomers alike were absolutely shook when Power premiered with a Big Rich Town remix (sung by Trey Songz) instead of the more familiar voice of Joe in the first few episodes of season 6. Don’t take our word for it, here are a few samples of what the internet had to say:

To some degree, Trey Songz really got the short end of the stick here. What can we say? Power fans just weren’t ready for something new.
Whatever the case, 50 Cent decided to step in and swap the remix for the original. From Episode 3 (his directorial debut) onward, the old theme song will return to set the tone for all of the drama, action, and excitement. To say the fans are relieved is an understatement… here’s a glimpse of their reactions:
