Fans Mourn Beloved Bachelor In Paradise Icon
Bachelor In Paradise has a new cast and logo every season. But one constant has been around since an early season, and we don’t mean bartender Wells Adams.
Have you found yourself randomly belting out, “We’re knockin’ on heaven’s door, almost paradise…”? You’re not alone. The earworm opening theme song has been a staple on BIP since Season 3. What you may not know is that Eric Carmen co-wrote the iconic song.
Sadly, the singer/songwriter passed away earlier this week. The former frontman of The Raspberries, Eric Carmen, 74, passed away in his sleep. He is known for his soaring ballads and catchy pop-rock anthems, leaving behind a legacy that will echo through the ages. His wife posted the news on social media, asking for privacy as they grieve the loss.
Bachelor Nation fans took to Reddit to share their own tributes to the icon connected to Bachelor In Paradise:
- Omg no idea the writer of BIP theme song wrote the iconic Hungry Eyes & All By Myself!! RIP 💕ðŸ˜
- I prefer to think of it as one of my fav songs from the original Footloose soundtrack.

Where Else You Might Know The Song From
Eric Carmen wrote “Almost Paradise,” but singers Mike Reno and Heart’s Ann Wilson took it to the top of the charts. The song was released in 1984 on the soundtrack to the movie Footloose.
The song was also used as a theme song for popular supercouples on the soap operas Guiding Light and All My Children. Kelly Clarkson covered the song on her daytime talk show, enlisting Ann Wilson for a duet.
But “Almost Paradise” isn’t Eric Carmen’s only movie connection. His bombshell hit “Hungry Eyes” featured in the 1987 monster hit movie Dirty Dancing.
Eric Carmen’s passing is a profound loss, and his music will continue to be a source of comfort and inspiration for many. As Bachelor Nation pays tribute to his life and work, we remember the power of music to connect us across time and space.
