"Freak the Freak Out" is a song by the Victorious cast featuring American actress and singer Victoria Justice from the soundtrack album Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show (2011). It was produced by The Super Chris and Michael Corcoran, who also co-wrote the song with C.J. Abraham, Nick Hexum, Zack Hexum, and Dan Schneider. It was released as the lead single from the soundtrack on November 22, 2010, through Columbia Records and Nickelodeon. Musically, it is a teen pop track with lyrics about fighting with an boyfriend. A Victorious episode of the same name premiered on November 26, 2010, and features Tori Vega (Justice), Jade West (Elizabeth Gillies) and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) trying to expose a rigged karaoke competition.

The song was met with generally positive reviews from critics, with the majority of them praising its catchiness. "Freak the Freak Out" peaked at number 50 on the US Billboard Hot 100, giving Justice her highest charting single on the chart. The song was certified gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). An accompanying music video was released on November 19, 2010, and was later added to Justice's YouTube channel on September 20, 2012. The visual portrays Justice and the Victorious cast at a warehouse in Los Angeles, dancing against other people. Justice performed the song live at the 2010 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Writing for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann described "Freak the Freak Out" as a teen pop song. Jason Lipshutz, writing for Billboard said the song finds Justice "having a blast with the G-rated concept and flashing an undeniable amount of charisma". Bob Hoose and Steven Isaac for Plugged In compared to track to the works of American singer Katy Perry. Both critics say the track is about how "Tori blows up at an uncommunicative boyfriend": "I'm so sick of it/Your attention deficit/Never listen, you never listen/I'm so sick of it/So I’ll throw another fit." They opined that the "second 'freak' in the title is a not-so-subtle substitute for an intended obscenity".

"Freak the Freak Out" was released as the lead single from the soundtrack album Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show on November 22, 2010. It later appeared on the American television sitcom Victorious' one-hour special of the same name on November 26, 2010.
