"Make It Shine" is a song performed by American actress and singer Victoria Justice, and written by Dan Schneider, Michael Corcoran, and its producer Dr. Luke, for the Nickelodeon television series Victorious. It was originally released on the channel's website on March 9, 2010, and later commercially re-released on April 13, as the first promotional single from the series' soundtrack album, Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show, on which it was included as the first track.[1][2]
Background and release[]
On October 19, 2009, Victoria Justice recorded the theme song for the then-upcoming television series Victorious, in which she would play the protagonist character, Tori Vega.[3] The track, titled "Make It Shine", became available to listen to on the Nickelodeon website on March 9, 2010. Dan Schneider, the creator of the series, revealed on his Blogger page the song was written and produced by Dr. Luke and Michael Corcoran (also known as Backhouse Mike). Official final credits list Luke, Corcoran, and Schneider as songwriters, with Luke himself producing the song. Schneider also wrote one of the things about this song that makes him proud is that Justice's vocals are real and not "computerized".[1] Justice later posted she was "freaking out" about the release.[4]
In addition to the Nickelodeon website, the track was also featured on the series' website, TheSlap.[5] The song was also available on the website of Schneider's other series, iCarly, which ended with Justice's additional announcement about the premiere of Victorious.[6] On April 12, Justice wrote the song would be released commercially on iTunes the next day.[7] The single cover art features Justice with the rest of the series' cast members – Daniella Monet, Leon Thomas III, Matt Bennett (along with the series' character, the dummy Rex Powers), Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies, and Avan Jogia. The song reportedly received radio airplay in various regions including Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States.[8]
The song was later paired with "Leave It All to Me" (the theme song of iCarly, originally performed by Miranda Cosgrove featuring Drake Bell) to form the mush-up "Leave It All to Shine", which was released as the album's second promotional single on June 10, 2011. This resulted in sharing the same credited songwriters for "Leave It All to Shine" and "Make It Shine", as "Leave It All to Me" was written by Corcoran himself. "Make It Shine" was confirmed for inclusion on the first soundtrack album, originally announced for release on July 12, however the date was pushed back for unknown reasons.[9] Columbia Records and Nickelodeon later confirmed it would be the first track on the album, released under the title Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show on August 2.[10]
Appearances in Victorious[]
"Make It Shine" was used as the series' theme song and appears in its opening sequence since the second episode, "The Bird Scene"; the only episodes where the sequence doesn't occur are "Pilot", "Blooptorious", and "The Breakfast Bunch". The song is cut short in the intro to the first verse, pre-chorus, and chorus. "Freak the Freak Out", as the only episode, had a longer sequence. A piece of the instrumental version played in the background during the closing credits of almost every episode of the first season (with the exceptions of "Robarazzi", "The Diddly-Bops", and "Sleepover at Sikowitz's"). Additionally, as a tribute to "Make It Shine", Tori Vega (portrayed by Victoria Justice) decided to decorate her locker at Hollywood Arts High School by adding the song's title on it because of how much it means to her. "Make It Shine" has been performed four times in the series, the most of all songs, and was also used several times on TheSlap.
"Pilot"[]
"Make It Shine" was first performed by Trina Vega (portrayed by Daniella Monet) and by Tori Vega in the series' first episode, "Pilot", that premiered on March 27, 2010. In the series' universe, the song was composed and written by André Harris (portrayed by Leon Thomas III), who partners with Trina for the big showcase at their school, Hollywood Arts, despite her lack of singing skills. However, her tongue is swollen just before the performance, as a result of which she can't sing. Looking for someone to replace her, André suggests Trina's younger sister Tori, who helped them with their rehearsals. Tori, who doesn't want to perform at all, is eventually dragged onto the stage where she's stressed out at first, but decided to continue the performance. It turns out the performance was great enough the school's principal Eikner (portrayed by David Starzyk), offers her to go to Hollywood Arts, which Tori eventually agrees to because of the audience's applause.
"Survival of the Hottest"[]
The song was performed for the second time in the series by Tori Vega with André Harris, Trina Vega, Robbie Shapiro (portrayed by Matt Bennett), Jade West (portrayed by Elizabeth Gillies), and Beck Oliver (portrayed by Avan Jogia) in the episode "Survival of the Hottest" which premiered on June 26, 2010. At one point when the group is stuck in Beck's RV at hot temperature, André says his grandmother advised him to sing a song so it would be better when bad things happened. Though Trina finds it stupid, Tori eventually stars singing the chorus of "Make It Shine" and the others eventually joins her until their friend Cat Valentine (portrayed by Ariana Grande) frees them from the vehicle.
"Helen Back Again"[]
"Make It Shine" was performed a third time in Victorious by Tori Vega with André Harris in the episode "Helen Back Again" which premiered on September 10, 2011. The new principal of the Hollywood Arts, Helen Dubois (portrayed by Yvette Nicole Brown), announces re-auditions for students to stay in the school. Tori and André, who work together for the re-audition, have trouble choosing a song at first, until Tori offers to perform a remixed version of "Make It Shine". After their performance, André asks Helen if she likes it, but she only screams for the next student, though later it turns out Tori and André are staying at school, so she liked it.
A performance of this episode is later used during the closing credits of the episode "Car, Rain & Fire" that aired on February 25, 2012.
"The Breakfast Bunch"[]
The fourth and last time "Make It Shine" was performed in the series was by Tori Vega in the episode "The Breakfast Bunch" which premiered on January 28, 2012. Tori, along with her friends, went to her locker to get the tacos, though they should have been sitting in the library due to their detention. The gang tries to get back to the library as not to be caught by the vice principal Mr. Dickers (portrayed by Rob Riggle). However, at one point they get stopped by the wet floor in the hallway. To distract him, Tori decides to run through the hallway singing "Make It Shine" and destroying posters, being eventually caught by Dickers who criticizes her for singing off-key and locks her in the janitor's closet.
TheSlap[]
"Make It Shine" was first used on TheSlap in the video "What Is TheSlap.com?", uploaded around March 31, 2010, in which characters from the series talk about what the website is about. The instrumental version of the song plays in the background throughout the video. Some fragments of this video were later used during the closing credits of many episodes of the first season.
The song's second appearance on the website was when it was performed by Trina Vega in "Tori's Video Profile", which is one of a series of profile videos of each character from the series on the website, also shared around March 31, 2010. Tori Vega tries to tell the story of how she got into Hollywood Arts, but Trina keeps interrupting her and adding something of herself. When Tori gets to the moment about performing the song at school, Trina immediately takes over the camera and starts singing "Make It Shine". After unsuccessfully trying to stop her from singing, Tori tells Trina she sang off-key, which Trina initially disagrees with, but later tells Tori she can't post the video so as not to embarrass her. Tori at first says she'll do it anyway, later claiming she's just joking, but then her suggestive look at the camera shows she'll put it on the Internet. A fragment of this video was later used during the closing credits of the episodes "Jade Dumps Beck" and "Beck's Big Break".
"Make It Shine" was performed for the second time on TheSlap by a dummy named Rex Powers (voiced by Jake Farrow) in the first video of his "Rex Sings" segment, published on January 22, 2011. In this video, both Robbie Shapiro and Rex agree Tori sang it well during their school's big showcase (referring to her performance in "Pilot"), but Rex says his version will be even better. His performance is accompanied by a dance performed by Sinjin Van Cleef (portrayed by Michael Eric Reid).
The song appeared in one of Tori's segments, "Tori Takes Request", in the fifth webisode titled "Glue Hand", published around April 30, 2011. Unsatisfied with her fans giving her too strange requests, Tori finds one asking her to put glue on her hand and then have another person, whom she dislikes very much, peel it after it dries, while a song performed by Tori during the big showcase at school plays in the background (again referring to the performance of "Make It Shine" in "Pilot"). Tori invites her nemesis Jade West to the video. Before they start applying the glue, Tori announces that she is playing "Make It Shine", to which Jade is apparently not happy and asks if she can play something else.
Journalistic commentary[]
The joint website of the magazines Bop and Tiger Beat was very positive about "Make It Shine" as they wrote: "We can't get it out of our heads! It's such a great song that instantly puts us in a great mood!".[11] Top40-Charts called the song "buoyant".[12] Following the release of Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show, Bob Hoose and Steven Isaac of Plugged In, one of the programs for the fundamentalist Protestant organization Focus on the Family, weren't satisfied with "Make It Shine", including it in the "Objectionable content" section in their review of the album, however. They noted the track serves its purpose as the theme song of Victorious by summarizing what the series is about—as they described—"Teens who worry about being invisible but hope and dream of soon making their stardom-earning mark." However, they considered it "not the best message for kids [...] Not when everything in their world is tugging them toward their 15 minutes of fame."[13] AllMusic's William Ruhlmann mentioned "Make It Shine", along with the album's next track, "Freak the Freak Out", is "typical of the teen pop genre due to its relentless beats, synthesized instrumentations, nonstop simple, repetitive choruses, and Auto-Tune vocals".[14]
More positive reviews from journalists came retrospectively. In 2015, Crystal Bell from MTV News ranked "Make It Shine" the 16th best Nickelodeon theme song.[15] Megan Gaertner of Her Campus created a list of the best songs from Victorious in 2019, where she included "Make It Shine", stating it "works perfectly to summarize the themes throughout" and is "uplifting and catchy".[16] Later that month, Taylor Mascetta authored an article for Fordham University's newspaper, The Fordham Ram, in which she wrote "Make It Shine" is "a catchy bop".[17] In 2020, HelloGiggles described the track as the "bop of a theme song".[18] Brenton Blanchet, in an article with an interview with Victoria Justice for Billboard in 2021, called her performance on "Make It Shine" "ever-catchy".[19] Lauren Peagler of The Talon, an Academic Magnet High School newspaper, ranked the theme songs for Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows in 2022; featuring 28 songs, ranked from best to worst, "Make It Shine" landed at number 16. Peagler called the song "still very catchy", although "Leave It All to Shine" is "10000x better".[20] "Make It Shine" was included on the list of "27 of the best TV theme songs of the 21st century" in 2023, made by Kendra Beltran for Yardbarker.[21] When Israel Olorunnisola of MovieWeb made a list of "10 Songs You Forgot Were Awesome" from the series in 2023, he included "Make It in America" on it, but the song's description makes it seem like he was writing about "Make It Shine", likely confusing them due to their similar titles.[22]
Commercial performance[]
"Make It Shine" was Victoria Justice's first song to appear on the charts. In the United States, the song appeared on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at number 16 and spent five weeks.

As of June 6, 2010, the song has been downloaded 100,000 times on iTunes in the country.[23] "Make It Shine" reached number 308 and spent five weeks on the chart in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
It was one of the five songs by Justice to appear on the 2011 Kid Digital Song Sales year-end chart, with the others being "Beggin' on Your Knees", "Best Friend's Brother", "Leave It All to Shine", and "I Want You Back". "Make It Shine" peaked at number 22.[24]

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Here I am, once again
Feelin' lost but now and then
I breathe it in to let it go
[Pre-chorus 1]
And you don't know where you are now
Or what it would come to, if only somebody could hear
When you figure out how
You're lost in the moment, you disappear
[Chorus]
You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade, you'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy, just remember me
When it turns out right
'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination
Tomorrow, you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory, just remember me
When I make it shine
[Verse 2]
Reachin' high, feelin' low
I'm holdin' on but lettin' go
I like to shine, I'll shine for you
[Pre-chorus 2]
And it's time to show the world how
It's a little bit closer, as long as I'm ready to go
All we have is right now
As long as you feel it inside, you know
[Chorus]
You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade, you'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy, just remember me
When it turns out right
'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination
Tomorrow, you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory, just remember me
When I make it shine
[Bridge]
Everyone can tell you how it's all been said and done (Woah)
That harder times will change your mind
And make you wanna run
But you want it, and you need it
Like you need to breathe the air
If they doubt you, just believe it
That's enough to get you there
[Chorus]
You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade, you'll be the main attraction (Woah)
Not a fantasy, just remember me
When it turns out right (It turns out right)
'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination
Tomorrow, you'll be everybody's fascination (Woah)
In my victory, just remember me (Woah)
When I make it shine
[Verse 1]
Here I am, once again
Feelin' lost but now and then
I breathe it in to let it go
[Pre-chorus 1]
And you don't know where you are now
Or what it would come to, if only somebody could hear
When you figure out how
You're lost in the moment, you disappear
[Chorus]
You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade, you'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy, just remember me
When it turns out right
'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination
Tomorrow, you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory, just remember me
When I make it shine
[Verse 2]
Reachin' high, feelin' low

You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
