When one talks about "Glee," the first song that anyone would think of immediately at the top of their head would be "Don't Stop Believin'."

The iconic Journey song not only become one of the band's greatest hits, but it also became the musical show "Glee" was notably known for.

In the span of its six seasons, it was also performed six times during the show.

Perhaps the most iconic performance would be on the show's Pilot episode, where Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Kevin McHale, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, and Jenna Ushkowitz were seen donning their red tops and denim outfits.

The second most famous performance of "Don't Stop Believin'" on "Glee" was during the first season finale, at the New Direction's Journey medley at Regionals.

It was also performed during Season 5 when the New Directions was officially disbanded.

But one of the most loved performances of the song was in Season 4 when Lea Michele's character Rachel Berry had her auditions for "Funny Girl." In a dream sequence, Michele performed the same arrangement of the song as it was in the first episode, along with McHale, Monteith, Riley, Ushkowitz, and Colfer.

Like its avid fans, Michele, who performed the song numerous times on the show, still knows the song by heart.

In a recent TikTok video she posted, Michele, along with her dear friend Darren Criss, lipsynced to the iconic song as if they were in Carpool Karaoke.

"When you're with your best friend and Don't Stop Believin' randomly comes on the radio," Michele captioned on her post.
