Most of the songs in "Singin' in the Rain" were from earlier movies and were written in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Only "Make 'Em Laugh" and "Moses Supposes" were new songs. A majority of the songs were composed by Nacio Herb Brown with lyrics by Arthur Freed.
Singin' in the Rain
Don, happy that Kathy loves him, walks out in the rain and starts dancing and "Singin' in the Rain."
The song "Singin' in the Rain" was first published in 1929 and performed in the film "The Hollywood Revue of 1929." It has been a very successful song and has been heard in 16 films. It has been recorded by popular artists, such as Sammy Davis Jr. and Judy Garland, as well as by international stars in both English and in foreign languages.
Fit as a Fiddle
"Fit as a Fiddle" was first heard in the film "College Coach" in 1933. The music was composed by Al Hoffman and Al Goodhart with lyrics by Arthur Freed.
All I Do is Dream of You
Kathy pops out of a cake at Don and Lena's party, singing "All I Do is Dream of You."
"All I Do is Dream of You" was introduced in the movie "Sadie McKee" in 1934. In later years, it was recorded by popular singers such as Perry Como, Dean Martin and Judy Garland.
You Were Meant for Me
Don tells Kathy how he feels about her and that "You Were Meant for Me."
"You Were Meant for Me" was first published in 1929 and sung in the movie musical "The Broadway Melody." Like many of the other songs from "Singin' in the Rain," "You Were Meant for Me" has been recorded by popular artists, including Perry Como and Audra McDonald.

"Moses Supposes" was composed by Roger Edens with lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green for the film "Singin' in the Rain."

Cosmo tries to cheer Don up and he tells him that what is important is to "Make 'Em Laugh."
"Make 'Em Laugh" was the only new song written by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed for "Singin' in the Rain."

"Beautiful Girl" is a number performed in a film on the studio's soundstage and Don spots Kathy as one of the girls in the chorus.
"Beautiful Girl" was originally heard in the 1933 film, "Stage Mother."
Good Morning
Don, Cosmo and Kathy stay up all night, trying to think of a way to save Don and Lena's film and when Cosmo finally comes up with an idea, they say that it is a "Good Morning."
"Good Morning," performed by Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds, was first written for the movie "Babes in Arms" in 1939.
