Lançado em 16 de junho de 1978, Grease teve sucesso crítico e comercialmente, tornando-se o filme musical de maior bilheteria de todos os tempos na época.[4] O orçamento de Grease foi de 6 milhões de dólares, com arrecadação mundial de 396 milhões de dólares, sendo, até hoje, um dos filmes musicais de maior arrecadação de bilheteria nos Estados Unidos.[5] O seu álbum de trilha sonora terminou 1978 como o segundo álbum mais vendido do ano nos Estados Unidos, atrás apenas da trilha sonora de 1977 do blockbuster Saturday Night Fever (que também estrelou Travolta)[6] e recebeu a sua solitária indicação ao Oscar por "Hopelessly Devoted to You" (que perdeu o Oscar de melhor canção original para "Last Dance" de Donna Summer do filme Thank God It's Friday no Oscar 1979).

Like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong
Remembered forever
As shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changitty chang sha-bop
That's the way it should be
Wah-oooh, yeah!

Boogedy boogedy boogedy boogedy
Shooby doo-wop she-bop
Chang chang changitty chang sha-bop
We'll always be like one, wa-wa-wa-one
When we go out at night
And stars are shinin' bright
Up in the skies above
Or at the high school dance
Where you can find romance
Maybe it might be love
Rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong
Shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changitty chang sha-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Boogedy boogedy boogedy boogedy
Shoo-be doo-wop she-bop
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yippity dip de doom
Rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong
Shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom

The lyrics to "We Go Together" is a celebration of friendship, love and unity. The song opens with the line "We go together, like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong," which is a metaphor for how the group goes together like a catchy melody. The entire verse is full of silly, made-up words and sounds, such as "shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom" and "dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo," creating a fun, upbeat, and infectious energy.
Throughout the song, the group sings about always being together and standing by each other's side. In the second verse, they mention going out at night and finding love or romance, which emphasizes the importance of love and companionship. The song's infectious melody and catchy chorus, "We'll always be like one, wa-wa-wa-one" echoes the theme of unity, highlighting that together they are stronger than any individual.
The chorus, like much of the song, relies on classic 50's and early 60's vocal harmonies popularized by groups like The Beach Boys, The Ronettes, and The Four Seasons. This style of music, known as doo-wop, helped bridge the gap between the pop and rock-n-roll music of the time, and it's no wonder that the filmmakers and songwriters of Grease used it as the foundation of the movie's soundtrack.
Overall, "We Go Together" is a perfect representation of the fun, youthful nostalgia of the movie Grease. It celebrates the importance of friendship and unity while reminding us to enjoy every moment of life.
