Song information

edit

This song is "You Are the Music In Me" in a more-upbeat version. Sharpay takes this song from Gabriella and Troy when she tricks Troy into singing with her in the talent show. The song contains instruments, including piano, drums and guitars.

The song was used in the movie High School Musical 2 in the scene when Troy and Gabriella's relationship is exhausted when Troy sees Ryan with Gabriella, causing jealousy. Giving to a "promise" from Troy, he and Sharpay practice their song for the Midsummer Night's Talent Show. Amazon's editors stated that "The song "You Are the Music in Me" is a fine one and doesn't get bogged down in syrup. It also gets reprised by Troy and Sharpay in a rockier and arguably better version."[12]

It was supposed to be sung at the Midsummer Night's Talent Show but since Sharpay was unable to come on stage due to absence and Troy on his own, the song never got sung.
