PLL 5 Years Forward Sneak Peek: Ashley Benson Picked Theme Song “Secret”

“Secret” by The Pierces is the perfect theme song for Pretty Little Liars.  In fact, it’s so perfect that people often assume the song was written for the show.  In this sneak peek for the PLL "5 Years Forward" special, we find out how "Secret" was chosen as the show's theme song.

Actress Ashley Benson (Hanna) was the one who suggested using “Secret” as the theme song for PLL.  Troian Bellisario (Spencer) remembers Ashley Benson playing the song on her cell phone and asking PLL showrunner Marlene King to use it as the theme song.

Thanks to Ashley Benson, Pretty Little Liars has the perfect theme song.  When PLL returns for the second half of season 6, it will have a new opening title sequence to go with the theme song.  Sasha Pieterse (Alison) joins the other actresses in the intro.  Also, all the girls will do the “shhh” that Lucy Hale (Aria) did in previous seasons.  Check out the new opening sequence and get a behind-the-scenes look at the girls filming the new PLL intro.
