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 video premiered on TRL on June 11, 2008.
The song was covered by punk band Less Than Jake on their release TV/EP.
As "Leave it all to me" is the intro music of versions of iCarly that are dubbed into other languages for other markets -- but sung by different people with slightly modified lyrics in the target language. The song has a few subtle political overtones that are not always translated into the new target languages.
