This article is about the song from A Chorus Line. You may be looking for the song by My Chemical Romance or the song by Ed Sheeran.
Sing! from A Chorus Line is featured in Duets, the fourth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Mike and Tina for the duets competition, making it the first time in the series that Mike sings a solo and the first time Tina sings a duet.
This song was chosen because Mike thought that he wasn't good at singing and only good at dancing. During the performance, Tina assists a nervous Mike with singing and Mike assists Tina with dancing and they end up performing well. The New Directions enjoys their performance and do back-up in it. Unfortunately, due to a flawed voting system, Tina and Mike do not win the competition.

But what I lack in pitch
