"Leave It All to Me" is the debut single by American actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove and the theme song for Cosgrove's Nickelodeon show iCarly. It features Cosgrove's former Drake & Josh co-star, Drake Bell, and was written by Michael Corcoran, one of Bell's band members. A shortened version is used in the show's opening credits, but the full version can be found on the show's soundtrack. The single charted in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100, at position 100.
The official music video premiered after an episode of iCarly on May 24, 2008. The first shot shows a laptop with iCarly.com on it. Miranda Cosgrove (Carly), Jennette McCurdy (Sam), Nathan Kress (Freddie), Jerry Trainor (Spencer) and Drake Bell are seen dancing and singing in the played videos on the laptop. Kids are seen dancing in the videos sent in by them, which are also not on iCarly.com. At the end of the video, they zoom out of the laptop. It was directed by Dan Schneider, the creator of iCarly.
The video premiered on TRL on June 11, 2008.
The song was covered by punk band Less Than Jake on their release TV/EP.
In the season eight episode of House, "Blowing the Whistle", House tells a clinic patient to hop on one foot and sing the iCarly theme song.
