Make It Shine is a song by Victoria Justice which also serves as the theme song for Victorious. It is also sung a couple of times in the show.
Pilot
In Pilot, we are introduced to Tori and her family and friends in the show. Trina was supposed to sing Make It Shine in the big showcase, but before the show she had an allergic reaction to a Chinese herb gargle and her tongue got swollen and she couldn't sing the song, so Andre made Tori sing the song so the show would go on.
Helen Back Again
In this episode, Hollywood Arts High gets a new principal, Helen. She wants every student to re-audition if they want to stay in school. For Tori's audition, she and Andre pair up and sing a remix of Make It Shine.

Lyrics
Filming of the music video.
Make It Shine
Here I am
Once again
Feeling lost but now and then
I breathe it in
To let it go
And you don't know
Where you are now
What it would come to
If only somebody could hear
When you figure out how
You're lost in the moment
You disappear
You don't have to be afraid
To put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade
You'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy
Just remember me
When it turns out right
Cause you know that if your live in
Your imagination
Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory
Just remember me
When I make it shine
Reaching high feeling low
I'm holding on and letting go
I'd like to shine
I'll shine for you
And it's time to
Show the world how
It's a little bit closer
As long as I'm ready to go
All we have is right now
As long as you feel it inside you know
You don't have to be afraid
To put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade
You'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy
Just remember me
When it turns out right
Cause you know that if your live in your imagination
Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory
Just remember me
When I make it shine
Everyone can tell you how
It's all been said and done
That harder times can change your mind
And make you wanna run
But you want it
And you need it
Like you need to breathe the air
If they doubt you
Just believe it
That's enough to get you there
You don't have to be afraid
To put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade
You'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy
Just remember me
When it turns out right
Cause you know that if your live in your imagination
Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory
Just remember me
When I make it shine
