Original version

Music video

The music video is just the clip that was in the movie that featured the song, but in a different edit. No new video was made for it but the clip taken from the movie was used for promotion. It begins with Kelsi, Gabriella, and Troy singing at the piano that ends with some of the other cast coming in and singing along and clips from the first movie (High School Musical) featuring Gabriella and Troy are fit in.

Song information

This song is "You Are the Music In Me" in a more-upbeat version. Sharpay steals 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 strained when Troy sees Ryan with Gabriella, sparking jealousy. Owing 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."^[2]

It was supposed to be sung at the Midsummer Nights Talent Show but since Sharpay was not able to come on stage due to absence and Troy on his own, the song never got sung.
