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.

I know you smelled the perfume,
The make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories
You know that they're all lies
And I just don't know why

The Glee Cast's song Let Me Love You features Artie on lead vocals and background support from Sam, Puck, Kurt, and Mike. The song is a cover of the original by Mario, released in 2004. The song's lyrics are a plea from Artie to his love interest, asking her to let him love her and give her everything she wants and needs. He questions why she stays with a man who lies and cheats on her, believing that she deserves much better than him. He highlights her true beauty and value and assures her that he can give her the love and protection she longs for.
The lyrics of the song convey a strong message of self-worth and the importance of standing up for oneself. Artie encourages his love interest to recognize her value and leave behind the toxic relationship she is currently in. He promises to treat her with the love, respect, and protection she deserves, a message that serves as a powerful reminder to everyone to find the strength to let go of people or situations that no longer serve in our best interests.
The song's upbeat and catchy melody makes it a popular choice for various occasions, including parties, karaoke sessions, and even weddings. Its relatable lyrics, delivered through Artie's soulful voice, resonate with listeners of all ages, making it one of Glee Cast's most recognizable and enduring covers. The song's themes of self-love and empowerment have also made it a feminist anthem, inspiring women to recognize their worth and demand respect and equality.

Lyrics
Much as you blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way that you feel
Had no example of a love that was even remotely real
How can you understand something that you never had
Ooh baby if you let me, I can help you out with all of that

And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl let me love you
