The pilot episode of the show was broadcast on May 19, 2009 and the first season began airing on September 9, 2009. The show was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. 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 â 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.
Toxic
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now'
With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic
It's gettin' late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me
Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air it's all around
Oh can you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic
Don't you know that you're toxic
With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready
I think I'm ready now
The lyrics of Glee Cast's song Toxic explores the idea of a dangerously addictive relationship. The singer is warning the person she is falling for that they are dangerous, but cannot help but love them. The singer is so intoxicated with the feeling of love that it is taking over her, leaving her unable to function in a normal manner. The song's question, "Do you feel me now?" highlights the sense of desperation that the singer feels while in this type of relationship. The bridge of the song seems to suggest that the singer knows that her relationship is unhealthy, but she cannot shake the feeling that she wants to indulge in it anyway.
The song's lyrics have a seductive quality that makes the listener feel the singer's intoxicating desire. The reference to "devil's cup" implies that the singer knows that what she is doing is wrong, but cannot help but submit to her desires. The song's use of the words "addicted" and "toxic" emphasize the idea that the singer is in a situation that is harmful but feels impossible to escape.
Overall, the song is an exploration of the idea that love can be a dangerous and powerful emotion. It highlights the inability to control one's emotions and the consequences of giving in to desire. The song is ultimately an ode to the pain and pleasure of succumbing to one's deepest desires.

I know I should walk away from you, but I keep taking small sips of the poison you represent, and I'm slowly losing control.
Too high
Can't come down
