The Glee star’s second original song for the series has been released. Listen to it here!
The end of Glee is officially upon us, and to rub salt in the wound we now have the audio to Lea Michele’s last solo song. The song, titled “This Time,” was penned by none other than Glee’s Darren Criss. Which is the second original song he has written for the series. EW released the track earlier today, so make sure you give it a listen and tell us what you think.

In an interview with EW, Darren spoke of the song saying:
“I wrote ‘This Time’ as a love note to all things Glee. The show itself, the emotions of the people leaving it—both the characters and the actors themselves, the effect it had on everyone — I tried to cram all these ideas into a single person’s narrative. I wanted Rachel’s words to encapsulate not only her own personal journey, but everyone’s experience of being a part of this show—whether you were behind the camera, in front of the camera, or watching it at home for these past few years. Hearing Lea sing this song was a really cathartic moment for me. It was a perfect way to say goodbye to the whole experience, and I really look forward to getting to share it with the world. I hope ‘This Time’ will resonate with as many people watching Glee as it did for me and those of us who had a hand in making it.”
It’s clear that Darren put his entire heart into this song and we can’t wait to see Lea’s last solo on Glee. If this song is a reflection of the mood of Friday’s series finale, we suggest you keep tissues nearby.
