Get It Right is an original song featured in Original Song, the sixteenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Rachel, with Brittany and Tina singing backup vocals.
Quinn inspires this song with her lecture to Rachel about her relationship with Finn, telling her that by holding on to a desperate hope to achieve a fairy tale romance with Finn, Rachel "would never get it right."
The song is the opening number for the New Directions setlist. Rachel sings with Brittany and Tina as backup singers. She looks at Finn during the performance as Quinn overlooks Finn while he watches her. After the bridge, all the girls come onto the stage as backup.
It is written by Adam Anders, Peer Åström, and Nikki Anders, but in the episode, Rachel is the composer of this ballad, which she dedicates to Finn.
Lyrics[]
Rachel (with Brittany and Tina):
What have I done?
I wish I could run
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world
Is on my shoulders
What can you do when your good isn't good enough,
And all that you touch, tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take
Oh, how many times will it take for me
To get it right
To get it right
Can I start again
With my faith shaken
('Cause I can't go back and undo this)
I just have to stay
And face my mistakes
(But if I get stronger and wiser)
Rachel with Brittany and Tina:
I'll get through this
What can you do when your good isn't good enough,
And all that you touch, tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
Rachel:
So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth
That sometimes life isn't fair
Rachel with Mercedes:
Yeah, I'll send out a wish
Yeah, I'll send up a prayer
Rachel:
Then finally someone will see
How much I care
New Directions Girls:
What can you do when your good isn't good enough
Rachel with New Directions Girls (Rachel):
All that you touch, tumbles down
(Oh), my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things
Just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
(Oh), how many times will it take?
Rachel:
To get it right
To get it right
