"As Long As You're There" is performed by guest star Charice and "Light Up the World" was co-written with Swedish songwriter Max Martin, who had previously helped to write "Loser Like Me", another song for the series. Recurring guest stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Kristin Chenoweth, and Jonathan Groff appear as featured artists on the album.Glee: The Music, Volume 6 was released on May 23, 2011. "Light Up the World" premiered through Ryan Seacrest's website on May 10, 2011.
Andrew Leahey of Allmusic gave the album a rating of three-and-a-half stars out of a possible five, and wrote that it "plays up the show's creative side". He cited "I Feel Pretty / Unpretty" as being "one of the show’s prettiest tributes to self-acceptance", and also commends the Chenoweth and Matthew Morrison cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams". Leahey noted that "the second half of the album doesn’t fare as well as the first", but added that the album was better "than some of its predecessors". He criticized the inclusion of a "lackluster version of 'Dancing Queen'" when there were "better songs that didn’t make the cut".
