Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show is the debut soundtrack for the Nickelodeon TV series Victorious.

The majority of the album was written by Michael Corcoran, Dan Schneider, Savan Kotecha, Kool Kojak and CJ Abraham with Victoria Justice involved in the composition of "Best Friend's Brother" and Leon Thomas III on "Song 2 You".

The album was released August 2, 2011 by Nickelodeon Records, in association with Sony Music Entertainment.[5][6] All of the songs on this soundtrack appear on previously aired episodes of the first two seasons of Victorious. In the United States, the soundtrack debuted on the Billboard 200 albums chart at number 5 with over 40,000 copies sold. It also peaked at number one on the Billboard Kid Albums chart and the Billboard Top Soundtracks chart.

The lead single from the album, "Freak the Freak Out", was released on November 19, 2010.

Music structure and lyrics

The album features the heavy usage of synthesizers, drum machine and Auto-Tune, prominent in songs like "Freak the Freak Out" and "Make It Shine".[7] The lyrical themes involve light romance, happy and sad, and assertions of self-worth.[7]

The mix of some tracks on the album are slightly altered in comparison to the versions heard in the show. The vocals of "Tell Me That You Love Me" are heard with a piano in the show, but the song has more instruments on the soundtrack. "Finally Falling" in this album removes Avan Jogia's opening verse. The show version of "All I Want Is Everything" has more prominent vocals from the other cast members. Full versions of the former two can be streamed at the show's student website, TheSlap.com.
