"Our Lips Are Sealed" was a power pop track released by the Go-Go's, written by guitarist Jane Wiedlin and the Specials singer Terry Hall. It was released as their debut single before it became the opening track for their first album, Beauty and the Beast.
What made the track so much more interesting was its backstory. According to American Songwriter, The Specials and the Go-Go's were on tour together when Wiedlin started a brief affair with Hall. She would tell Rolling Stone that it was "a dramatic, traumatic, long-distance romance," especially since Hall was in a relationship at the time.
Some reports state Hall had a girlfriend, while others call her his fiancée. Wiedlin stated that "He had a fiancée at the time — nowadays I wouldn’t touch that with a 10-foot pole, but I was 19, and I was like, fiancée schmiancée, man." She would add that Hall had sent her lyrics through the mail that were "kind of about our relationship," and liked them so much that she finished them and wrote music to them. The rest was history.
The track was also covered decades later by Hilary and Haylie Duff for the soundtrack of the 2004 film A Cinderella Story. It did well amongst fans, with critics calling it a "sugary" cover of the original.
