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.
My Life Would Suck Without You
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for trying to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go
Oh yeah
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
(Yeah) 'cause we belong together now, yeah (together, now)
Forever united here somehow, yeah (somehow)
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
The Glee Cast's song "My Life Would Suck Without You" is about a tumultuous romantic relationship. The song begins with the singer singing about how the other person is standing at their door, which suggests that the two have had a fight or broken up in the past. However, the person has come back, which means they must be sorry for everything they said before. The singer doesn't believe that the other person will stay, but this time they want it to be different.
The chorus is about how the two people belong together and how they are forever united. The singer admits that they were wrong for trying to pick a fight or telling the other person goodbye. They also realize that they have issues, but so does the other person. They sing that they are nothing without the other person, and their life would suck without them. The second verse suggests that although the relationship may be dysfunctional, the singer can't let go of their partner.
Overall, the song is about two people who are deeply in love, but their relationship is tumultuous. They realize that they are not perfect, and neither is the other person, but they belong together despite all their issues.
