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.

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.
How Deep Is Your Love
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think, I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
la la la la la la (Ooh)
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
la la la la la
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
The lyrics to "How Deep Is Your Love" by the Glee Cast are an exploration of the depth of love between two people. The song's opening lines describe the deep, intimate knowledge that one person has of the other, even in the most mundane moments of their lives. The chorus then asks the question, "How deep is your love?" as a way to probe the strength and sincerity of that love. The verses go on to express a deep sense of trust and reliance on the other person, with lines like "You know the door to my very soul" and "You're my savior when I fall." The song ends with a plea for understanding and acceptance in a world that often seeks to tear people apart.
Overall, "How Deep Is Your Love" is a song that celebrates the power and beauty of real, genuine love. It acknowledges that love is not always easy, and that there will be challenges and obstacles along the way. But ultimately, the singer of the song believes that their love is worth fighting for, and they want to know that their partner feels the same way.

Wow Lea Michele doesn't joke around when she sings these covers. Been listening to Glee nonstop and she kills it every time!

You can say whatever you want about Lea but you must admit that she's extraordinary. Her voice is special. Nobody other than Lea Michele won't ever be able to make me feel so emotional listening to a song...
