The Grease soundtrack featured songs from the original stage musical, but the single “You’re the One That I Want” was written especially for the film.
Written by John Farrar, "You’re the One That I Want” was an energetic duet performed by Travolta and Newton-John (Danny and Sandy) near the end of the film. Newton-John’s Sandy transformed herself from prim goody-two-shoes into a leather-laden vixen to perform the song with Travolta’s Danny Zuko for the film’s closing fairground scene.
“You’re the One That I Want” was written overnight and recorded hours later.
The songwriter was admittedly stunned by the song’s massive success. "It was one of those lucky things, being in the right place at the right time,” Farrar said. "I still don’t know why it was such a hit. It affected young people greatly, it seems.”
“John Farrar has written some of the best songs that I’ve ever [recorded],” the Grease star shared. “He wrote ‘Have You Never Been Mellow?’ and ‘Sam’ and ‘You’re the One That I Want’ and ‘Hopelessly Devoted To You’ and ‘Make A Move On Me.’ There’s tons of them; he’s a brilliant writer.”
