Defying Gravity - Glee - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Defying Gravity" is a Broadway showtune, widely regarded as an iconic anthem of empowerment. It originated in the Broadway musical Wicked and was written by Stephen Schwartz, debuting in 2003. It was famously performed by powerhouses Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. "Defying Gravity" delves into themes of self-discovery, resistance to societal norms, and embracing one's unique destiny, becoming an anthem for those feeling constrained by expectations. The song was given fresh life when reimagined on Fox's TV series, Glee, which was renowned for reinterpreting Broadway classics. "Defying Gravity" appeared in an episode titled "Wheels," in which Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Rachel (Lea Michele) duke it out in the show's first "Diva-Off," showcasing both their profound talent and the emotional weight of the song. The show produced three unique versions: a duet between Kurt and Rachel, and two distinct solos for each. The song was included as the closing track on the soundtrack album Glee: The Music, Volume 1 (2009).
