Season Two
My Headband
After being encouraged to write an original song by Finn in Comeback, Rachel writes My Headband. In Blame It on the Alcohol, Rachel performs the song for Finn. She believes the song is a hit, and tells him that she should wrote it because it was a topic she was familiar with, but Finn tells her the song is bad and not very emotional, and that Rachel needs to do 'a little living' before she could write an anthem. In Original Song, Brittany says that My Headband is her favorite song.
Inspired by: Rachel's Headband
Written by: Rachel Berry
Only Child
Only Child is the second original song written by Rachel. She first performs it for Finn in the episode Original Song, and gives him a box of tissues, telling him that it is very emotional and that he should not be ashamed to cry. After the performance, Rachel tells him the song title, which Finn had already assumed based on the lyrics. He tells her it is an improvement from My Headband, but that the song still shows no painful emotion, and that he cannot feel it when she sings it. Rachel is then frustrated with Finn and questions if he's ever struggled to write a song.

Written by: Rachel Berry
Trouty Mouth
Trouty Mouth is an original song written by Santana for Sam after the Glee Club is assigned to write original music. She also writes the song in spite of being turned down by Brittany in the episode, Sexy. She performs the song in Original Song, accompanied by Tina on the piano. Sam interrupts her performance, angry with her offensive lyrics and song title. Will agrees with Sam's argument, saying that the song has not got the epic feel needed for regionals. Santana is offended by this. After Mercedes' performance of Hell to the No, Santana says she has written another verse of Trouty Mouth, and Sam holds up a 'HELL NO' sign in protest.
Inspired by: Sam's Mouth
Written by: Santana Lopez
Dedicated to: Sam Evans
Big Ass Heart
Big Ass Heart is an original song written by Puck for Lauren after the Glee Club is assigned to write original music. He performs the song after Santana's performance of Trouty Mouth in Original Song. He introduces the song as "Big Ass," to Lauren's dismay, but finishes the title with "Heart." Lauren and the rest of New Directions enjoy the song, including Sam, to Santana's dismay because he did not like her original song for him. However, Will still doesn't think the song is good enough for regionals.
Inspired by: Puck's love to Lauren
Written by: Noah Puckerman
Dedicated to: Lauren Zizes
Hell to the No
Hell to the No is an original song written by Mercedes after the Glee Club is assigned to write original music. The New Direction's girls, excluding Quinn and Rachel, provide backing vocals. The song is received positively by her fellow Glee Club members, including Mr. Schuester, but he still thinks that it isn't regionals material, saying that the song does not come from a place of pain and does not show true emotion.
Inspired by: Mercedes' life
Written by: Mercedes Jones
Get It Right
Get It Right is the third original song written by Rachel Berry. She writes the song in Original Song, prior to regionals after being scolded by Quinn for still having feelings for Finn. The song is about him, and is inspired by the things Quinn said to her. Finn tells her that he likes the song, meaning she has finally done what she has wanted to for several weeks. She performs the song at regionals, with Tina and Brittany on backing vocals. The song is received positively by the crowd, leaving Rachel pleased, just in time for the following performance, Loser Like Me.
Inspired by: Rachel's confrontation with Quinn at the auditorium
Written by: Rachel Berry
Dedicated to: Finn Hudson
Loser Like Me
Loser Like Me is an original song written by New Directions, excluding Quinn and Rachel, in the episode Original Song. The song is inspired by Sue's hate for the Glee Club, along with many other negative attitudes towards it. Will comes up with the name after Santana tells him that Sue put dirt in Brittany and her lockers, Mercedes tells him that she threw sticks at her, and finally when Tina tells him that she called the Ohio Secretary of State saying she was Tina and that she wanted to legally change her name to Tina Cohen-Loser. New Directions perform the song at regionals, after Rachel's performance of Get It Right. During the performance, Sue seems to realize that the song is inspired by her. After winning the competition, Rachel tells her fellow club members that the song was amazing and that it inspired her.
Inspired by: Sue's torturing to the Glee Club
Written by: New Directions.
