The episode revolves around Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw), just after they are involved in a vehicular collision. Various songs are performed by the cast members, as they attempt to save the life of Torres. Rhimes originally idealized the episode at the conception of the drama, while the show remained untitled. The episode opened to polarized reviews from television critics, and it was the second most-watched program of the night. "Song Beneath the Song" was ranked in several "best and worst" lists, and the soundtrack also charted on the "Billboard" 200.

"The Song" is the nineteenth episode of the American television series "Smash". It was written by Bathsheba Doran and directed by Michael Morris. The episode premiered on NBC on February 26, 2013, the fourth episode of Season 2. Derek and Tom help Veronica with her one-night-only concert, while Jimmy and Kyle, with Karen's encouragement, try to get a song submitted for the concert, and Julia and Peter struggle to work together to fix "Bombshell's" script.
The Song (Smash) | Introduction
He explained: "It's very difficult to keep it fresh when you're doing 24 episodes a year. Shonda Rhimes has a lot of ideas, and she is in a position where she can take more chances. Sometimes that works, sometimes it does not. Last year we had the singing episode, which I think was a big mistake. But you have to try."
Song Beneath the Song | Post-Broadcast Commentary
The episode title "Ah, But Underneath" is a song that appears in some versions of the Stephen Sondheim musical, "Follies". (It was written for the 1987 London production, in which it replaced "The Story of Lucy and Jessie". It does not occur in current licensed versions of the musical.)
Ah, But Underneath | Title reference
Critical response prior to broadcast was mixed. "TVLine" Michael Ausiello assessed that the episode would "either be a show-stopping triumph or a spectacular failure," with no possible middle ground. William Keck of "TV Guide" initially had "serious doubts," which were allayed by a visit to the set, during which he listened to the soundtrack. Keck likened it to the "much-beloved early seasons of "Grey", when music played a vital role on the show." "Entertainment Weekly" Dan Snierson predicted heavy use of Auto Tune, though fellow "EW" writer Jennifer Armstrong was optimistic that the episode would be a success, commenting: "I have faith.

Original Song | Introduction
Another notable song used in the show is "Here Comes a Regular" by The Replacements, a band often considered as underground. The show also produces original songs which are used on the episodes. These are generally composed by Mothersbaugh and written by one of the staff's storyboard artists. "Summertime Loving, Loving in the Summer (Time)" was written by the staff member Sean Szeles and appeared in the episode "This Is My Jam" (season 2, episode 13).
Regular Show | Music
The musical performances and cover versions in the episode attracted generally positive reviews, though a few reviewers noted that the program had been on for twenty-three minutes before the first song appeared. While Fallon said it was an "interminable wait" for the first musical number, "Ohio", and Reiter cited the delay as flaw, James Poniewozik of "Time" thought it a "credit to the episode" that he had not noticed the absence of music to that point. Flandez and Futterman commented favorably on all the musical numbers, though Canning felt the songs were a "disappointing aspect of this episode", and none were "exceptionally memorable".

In 2011, the episode was ranked #19 on the "TV Guide Network" special, "25 Biggest TV Blunders 2". It was included in "TV Guide"s list "The Worst Of 2011" saying, "Sara Ramirez has powerhouse pipes, but what this episode desperately needed was a better playlist." "BuddyTV", however, ranked it #43 on its list of 2011's 50 Best TV Episodes and it also appeared on "Digital Spy"'s shortlist of "TV's Best Musical Episodes." Supervising Music Editor Jennifer Barak and Music Editors Carli Barber and Jessica Harrison were nominated in the Best Sound Editing: Short Form Musical in Television category at the 2012 Golden Reel Awards for their work on the episode.

The Song in Your Heart | Music
During writing and production of "Epitaph One," the 13th unaired episode of "Dollhouse" (the television series for which Tancharoen and Whedon also write), the two writers felt that a piece of music was necessary over the coda of the episode, but due to budget concerns, they were unable to use a famous or popular song at the time. Rather, Tancharoen and Whedon wrote "Remains," which can be heard over the episode's final scenes. However, they wanted the song not to appear too close to the content of the episode lyrically, so as not to distract the viewer with the realization that the song was composed specifically for the episode, despite the lyrics being thematically relevant but not overly specific to the context.
Remains (song) | Song information
The episode features the song "Something Entirely New". The song was arranged by Aivi & Surasshu, the music team for the series, and written by series creator Rebecca Sugar. It features vocals by Charlyne Yi (as Ruby) and Erica Luttrell (as Sapphire). Jeff Ball plays violin for the song. The episode also features several instrumental songs by Aivi & Surasshu: "Happy Birthday, Steven/5,750 Years Ago", "Blue Diamond", "The Rebels/Garnet's First Fusion", "Escaping the Colony/Feelings of Love" and "The Answer".
The Answer (Steven Universe) | Music
She called it the opposite of "Once More, with Feeling," the "all-out, show-stopping," musical episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," as she aimed to "do something that was musical without being a musical." Rhimes said she had difficulty getting the network's permission. She added: "I begged the studio people. I begged the network people. I took these people to dinner and begged. I jumped out at these people in bathrooms and begged. And they all smiled politely but what they were clearly really thinking was, 'This woman is an idiot.'" Rhimes also told about delays in producing this episode: The script was written by Rhimes in November 2010.

Eric Thurm of The A.V. Club was somewhat critical of the episode, giving it a B+, and stating that it "doesn’t really tell us anything we couldn’t have guessed, or anything that we really needed to know".

Sarra Sedghi of "Paste" listed "Something Entirely New" as the fifth best song of the show's first two seasons.

This musical episode was conceived during the series' third season, but according to show runner Jane Espenson, it was too expensive at the time. The producers revisited the idea in July 2016 after receiving feedback and requests from viewers. Paul Becker, who was brought on board as the choreographer for the episode, confirmed the episode on his Instagram account on February 9, 2017. Most of the cast did the recording first, with the choreography done afterwards, so the playback could blend in with the scenes. During the final day of shooting, Colin O'Donoghue injured his foot while performing his number.

Parry Gripp, the band's songwriter, guitarist, and admitted fan of the show explained that the band created the theme song after "fancy pants Hollywood" failed to write a theme song that the producers approved. Eventually, "they [the producers] asked a bunch of local, small time bands who they could pay very little money to come up with some ideas and they liked our idea and they used it." Several songs by the band Sprung Monkey play during the episode. When Buffy is deciding what to wear, the song "Saturated" is playing faintly in the background.

Lyneka Little of "The Wall Street Journal" wrote, "If "Glee" and "ER" had a baby it would be tonight’s episode of the medical drama "Grey’s Anatomy" titled 'Song Beneath the Song'." In his review of the episode Alan Sepinwall of HitFix wrote "Like "Grey's Anatomy" as a whole, some parts were unintentionally silly, others were surprisingly powerful, and it was rarely dull, at least."

The show's closing song, "The Ballad of Paladin", was written by Johnny Western (who had a role in Season 1 Episode 35, "The Return of Dr. Thackeray"), Richard Boone, and program creator Sam Rolfe, and was performed by Western. In the first season the closing song was a reprise of the opening theme. In syndication, the first (premise) episode concludes with the Johnny Western ballad. The rest of the run of the first-season episodes play a reprise of the opening theme; although the theme song was used in closing at least four times in season 1, including episodes 33 & 34.

The actual theme song is not changed, however Chloë Grace Moretz as the Darby character replaced Kay Hanley singing the theme, and a few animation pieces in the song is changed because of this, as well as a new song played occasionally called "The Question Song". The new version of the theme song and opening credits have been retroactively added to the repeats of Season 1 episodes, although the wording of old song was not replaced in the program's closed-captioning track. However "The Question Song" sung by Chloë Grace Moretz replaces the thinking song in most of season 2's episodes.
