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.
We've Got Tonite
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry? No one will care, girl
We've got tonight who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay?
Deep in my soul i've been so lonely
All of my hopes so fading away
And I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today
So there it is, girl we've got it all now
And here we are, babe what do you say?
We've got tonight who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe why don't we stay?
I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely both of us lonely
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Oh, come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe why don't we stay?
We've got tonight, babe why don't we stay?
The Glee Cast's rendition of Bob Seger's We've Got Tonight is a poignant and emotional song that deals with themes of loneliness, longing for love, and the power of the present moment. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who are tired and lonely, searching for comfort and connection, and finding it in each other's company. Despite the uncertainty and impermanence of their situation, they choose to embrace the moment and find solace in the present. The line "We've got tonight who needs tomorrow?" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that sometimes all we have is the present moment, and we should make the most of it, regardless of what the future may bring.
The song's message is a universal one that anyone who has experienced loneliness or longing for love can relate to. It speaks to the human desire for human connection and the power of the present moment to bring us happiness and fulfillment. The music and melody of the song complement the lyrics perfectly, creating a mood that is both melancholic and hopeful.

I know it's late i know you're weary
I understand that it's late and you might be tired
I know your plans don't include me
I realize that you might have made plans without me
Still here we are both of us lonely
Despite our loneliness, we're both here
Longing for shelter from all that we see
We're both searching for something to protect us from the world
Why should we worry? No one will care, girl
There's no need to worry about what others think because they won't care
