"Leave It All to Me" is the debut single by American actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove, featuring Drake Bell, from the Nickelodeon show iCarly's soundtrack album of the same name (2008). The song was written by Michael Corcoran, one of Bell's band members. It was released as the lead single from the album on December 18, 2007, by Nickelodeon Records and distributed by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, standing as Cosgrove's debut release. A remix by Billboard was released on the soundtrack album iCarly: iSoundtrack II on January 24, 2012.
The song served as the theme song for the original show and the 2021 revival. A pop song, it is about seeing the brighter side of every situation.
This opening theme was left undubbed from the original English version in nearly every dub, except six of them. With that said, nearly all dubs with an undubbed intro still dubbed over Freddie's countdown in the beginning of the theme, as well as providing a title voice-over at the end of it.

Viisi, neljä, kolme, kaks! Tiedän Näen sen Takaa tän arjen harmauden Voi nähdä auringon Mut kun Särkee Mä tiedän kuinka valoon pääsee Sä taas näet auringon Sun elämää Muut todellakaan ei voi elää Mut jos joskus nojata saa muihin Kaatua ei voi (Ei voi) Vaikka kaikki menis puihin Ja taas laulu soi ja nähdä voi Taas nyt valon niin kuin kuun Mikä mut kuuluseksi saa niin Parhaat sitten loppu muille jää Vietä elämää Vietä elämää Me hoidetaan nyt tää!

Nun los, wecke alle meine Freunde! Ja, jetzt bist du dran! Chancen musst du schnell ergreifen, pack sie an, geh' ran Sieh' einfach alles von der besten Seite, es ist halt wie es ist nun streng dich an, den Rest den lässt du mir! Überlass ihn mir Überlass ihn mir Ja, überlass ihn mir...

Es öt, négy, három, kettő! Ez jó, mit vársz? Együtt kell megújítani, ez már egy új világ. Most jó, most élsz. Nincs jobb egy életre, hidd el, csodás a létezés! Mindent megélhetsz, csak ahhoz magadat ébreszd már fel! Mindent visz, ki keveset kérdez: ezt kell érteni! Figyelj rá, hogy ne csak létezz! Problémákat pozitívan éld meg. ha gondod van, csak kérj meg! Hagyd rám a többit, kérlek, Bízz bennem, hogy megteszem majd én! Megpróbálom én... Megteszem majd én... Elintézem én!
And five, four, three, two... This is fine, what are you expecting? We need to renew it together, this now is a new world. Now it's fine, now you're living. There's nothing better for life, believe (me), existence is wonderful! You can experience anything, but for that you have to wake yourself up already! The one who asks the least gets to bring everything: this is what you have to understand! Be wary of not only existing! You should experience problems positively, if you've got an issue, just ask me. Leave the rest to me please! have trust in me, I'll do it! I'll try to do it... I'll do it... I'll arrange it myself!

I pięć, cztery, trzy, dwa! Już wiem, ty też, że świat nasz musi zmienić się, Aby wspaniały był Więc żyj, łap wdech, bo ja już wiem, czego trzeba, byś znów się genialnie czuł To żaden żart, ja dobrze wiem, czego ci brak Więc zbudźcie się, ludzie z mojej nacji, to wasz czas by być. Wielką szansę trzeba stworzyć, wspiąć się, żeby ujrzeć jasną stronę, w każdej sytuacji to samo dzieje się, więc śmiało daj czadu, resztę zostaw mnie Resztę zostaw mnie, Resztę zostaw mnie, Więc resztę zostaw mnie!
I already know, you do too, that our world must change to be wonderful. So live, catch a breath 'cause I already know what's needed to make you feel fantastic again. It's not a joke. I know well what you're missing. So wake up, people from my nation. It's your time to be. We must create a big chance, climb up to see the bright side in every situation. It's happening by itself so go ahead, rock, leave the rest to me, leave the rest to me, leave the rest to me, so leave the rest to me.
