"Okay Karaoke" was written by Ariel Vracin-Harrell and Faryn Pearl and directed by Jonathon Wallach, with Monica Ray as supervising director. Joachim Horsley wrote the music for the episode.[4]
Reception
The episode received 0.43 viewers on its premiere.[9] Tony Betti of Laughing Place states "this mostly musical episode has short tunes that prove to be so catchy that Walt Disney Records released a digital soundtrack for the episode just yesterday."[10]
