Murphy selects all music featured within the series himself, with the intent of maintaining a balance between show tunes and chart hits. Songs featured on the show are available for digital download through iTunes up to two weeks before new episodes air, and through other digital outlets and mobile carriers a week later.
Their debut single, "Don't Stop Believin'", a cover of the 1981 Journey song, was a top ten hit, and was certified platinum in Australia and gold in the US. The group's cover of The All-American Rejects' "Gives You Hell" reached number one in Ireland, giving them their first number one single.

The cast is second behind The Beatles for most chart appearances by a group act in the Billboard Hot 100's history, and holds the record of sixth overall among all artists, with sixty-nine appearances. The cast has sold over thirty six million and over eleven million albums worldwide. The series' cover versions have also had a positive effect on the original recording artists, with sales of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" increasing by 189 percent after the song was covered in the Glee episode "Showmance".
The series features covers of numerous songs sung on-screen by the characters. Musical segments typically take the form of performances, as opposed to the characters singing spontaneously, as the intention is for the series to remain reality-based. Murphy is responsible for selecting all of the songs used, and strives to maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits, as: "I want there to be something for everybody in every episode. That's a tricky mix, but that's very important — the balancing of that." Song choices are integral to script development, with Murphy explaining: "Each episode has a theme at its core. After I write the script, I will choose songs that help to move the story along."
Glee is choreographed by Zach Woodlee, and features five to eight production numbers per episode. Once music rights are cleared, songs are arranged and pre-recorded by the cast. Woodlee constructs the accompanying dance moves, which are then taught to the cast and filmed. Numbers can take several weeks to prepare, depending on complexity. Each episode costs at least $3 million to produce, and can take up to 10 days to film as a result of the elaborate choreography.
Get It Right
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What have I done? I wish I could run
Away from this ship goin' under
Just tryin' to help, hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders
What can you do when your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down?
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?
To get it right
Can I start again with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser, I'll get through this
What can you do when your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep makin' a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?
So I throw up my fist, throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah, I'll send out a wish, yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally someone will see how much I care
What can you do when your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down?
Oh, my best intentions keep makin' a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take to get it right?
To get it right
The lyrics of Glee Cast's song Get It Right can be interpreted as a confession of guilt and regret for making mistakes that hurt others. The lead singer, Rachel, feels the weight of the world on her shoulders as a result of the consequences of her actions. She's aware that her best intentions keep making a mess of things, even though she's just trying to help. She admits that sometimes life isn't fair and that she can't go back and undo her mistakes. However, she's determined to get through it by getting stronger and wiser.
The chorus of the song highlights Rachel's frustration and exasperation at her inability to make things right, no matter how many times she tries. She questions how many times it will take for her to get it right. However, in the end, she raises her fist, throws a punch in the air, and accepts the truth that sometimes life isn't fair. She sends out a wish and a prayer and hopes that someone will finally see how much she cares.
The song could be interpreted as a powerful reminder that mistakes and failures are part of the human experience, and that it's okay to falter as long as one is willing to learn and grow from their mistakes. The lyrics suggest that good intentions are not always enough, and that it takes perseverance, determination, and a willingness to face one's shortcomings to make things right.
