I Want To Break Free by Queen is featured in Child Star, the ninth episode of Season Six. It is sung by Mason.
Myron's Bar Mitzvah party is finally here, held in the McKinley auditorium. He is introduced to the audience, with Superintendent Harris clapping proudly for him. He then states that he has a lot of great entertainers on his show, and few boring bits. He introduces the New Directions, with Mason McCarthy as the first performer of the show. Mason directing the song to Jane (for his intention to be with her) and also his twin sister, Madison (to express his desire to make his own choices without her controlling him). The girls in the audience seem to fangirl over him. After the performance, he goes to hugs Jane and she praises him, as Madison looks sad.

Mason:
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free.
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love.
It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free,
Oh how I want to break free.
But life still goes on
I can't get used to, living without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free.
I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free.
