Make It Shine

Make It Shine is the theme song for the Nickelodeon television program Victorious. It is also the first song performed on the show, with a full version in the Pilot sung by Tori Vega, played by Victoria Justice. In the episode, the song was written by André Harris originally meant to be performed by Trina to sing in "The Big Showcase". When Trina had an allergic reaction to a Chinese Herb Gargle, Trina's sister, Tori is volunteered by André to sing in her place. Tori performs the song spectacularly, much to everyone's surprise since she never showed signs of her talent before. The principal offers her the chance to go to school at Hollywood Arts, which she accepts.

"Make It Shine" is sung by Victoria Justice and is co-written by Justice herself, Micheal Corcoran, and Dr. Luke. The single is also available on iTunes.

To get their minds off their entrapment in Beck's RV in Survival of the Hottest, Tori leads her friends in a performance of the song, but is interrupted when Cat returns from her exploits.

For the crossover episode iParty with Victorious, the song was combined with iCarly's theme song, "Leave it All to Me", to become "Leave It All To Shine", sung by the main cast members of both shows.

Tori and André also sing a remix of Make It Shine in the season 2 episode Helen Back Again, after Helen, the new Hollywood Arts principal, makes every student re-audition to see if they deserve their place.

In The Breakfast Bunch, Tori sang "Make It Shine" to distract Mr. Dickers from her friends.

Lyrics
Here I am

Once again

Feeling lost but now and then

I breath it in

To let it go

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 dreams 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 your live in

Your imagination

Tomorrow you'll

Be everybody's fascination

In my victory

Just remember me

When I make it shine

Reaching high feeling low

I'm holding on and letting go

I like to shine I'll shine for you

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 dreams 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 your live in

Your imagination

Tomorrow you'll

Be everybody's fascination

In my victory

Just remember me

When I make it shine

Everyone can tell you how

It's all been said and done

That harder times can 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

Your 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!
