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.
Silly Love Songs
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said can't you see?
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me (how can I tell you about my loved one?)
Said can't you see?
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again
I love you (I love you)
I love you (I love you)
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me
Said can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
Now can't you see?
Love doesn't come in a minute
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly (at all), not it isn't silly (at all)
Love isn't silly at all, not at all
I love you
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me (I love you)
Said can't you see?
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me (how can I tell you about my loved one?)
Said can't you see?
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me (how can I tell you about my loved one?)
Said can't you see?
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again
I love you (I love you)
I love you (I love you)
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me
Said can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more
She gave it all to me
Now can't you see?
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me (how can I tell you about my loved one?)
The Glee Cast's cover of "Silly Love Songs" was written by Paul McCartney, and the lyrics are a reflection on love and the power that it has over us. The song acknowledges that some people might be tired of hearing love songs, but the singer cannot help but express their love and desire for their partner. The repetition of "I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, said can't you see?" emphasizes the difficulty in expressing the emotions that come with love. The singer is struggling to find the right words to explain their feelings for their loved one.
The song suggests that love can be silly, as the title suggests, but it also argues that love is not something to be dismissed as unimportant or frivolous. The lyrics "Love doesn't come in a minute, sometimes it doesn't come at all. I only know that when I'm in it, it isn't silly (at all)," suggest that love is a complex and unpredictable emotion, but it is also something that we should cherish and celebrate. The song encourages us to be unashamed in expressing our love for others, even if some might consider it to be silly.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me
How can I tell you about my loved one?
Said can't you see?
I'm trying my best to express my feelings here
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
One would assume people would stop making love songs, but it's not the case
But I look around me and I see it isn't so
My observations do not agree with that assumption
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
There are individuals who are obsessed with creating love songs
And what's wrong with that?
Why not express love and happiness?
I'd like to know
I'm genuinely curious about this
'Cause here I go again
But regardless, I can't help but write another love song
I love you (I love you)
My feelings of love are strong
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
My loved one has given me everything and then some
Love doesn't come in a minute
Love is not an instantaneous feeling
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
Sometimes love may never arrive in our lives
I only know that when I'm in it
But when it does, I feel it deeply
It isn't silly (at all), not it isn't silly (at all)
Love is not a silly emotion, not even slightly
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me (I love you)
I just can't help but emphasize how much I love you
Ah, she gave me more
My loved one has continuously given me more love
Now can't you see?
Can't you see the depth of my love for my partner?

What's wrong with that

'Cause here I go again
I love you, I love you
Love doesn't come in a minute
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, love isn't silly, love isn't silly at all
How can I tell you about my loved one
