"Our Lips Are Sealed" was co-written by Jane Wiedlin, guitarist of the Go-Go's, and Terry Hall, singer of the Specials and Fun Boy Three. It was first recorded by the Go-Go's as the opening track on their album Beauty and the Beat (1981) and was their debut American single in June 1981. The single eventually reached the top 5 in Australia and Canada, and the top 20 in the United States. Originally written and performed with three verses, the song appears in an abbreviated version on Beauty and the Beat. Most of the song's vocals are performed by lead singer Belinda Carlisle, with co-writer Wiedlin singing the bridge.

In 2021, their version was also listed at No. 477 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The Go-Go's performed the song, along with "Vacation" and "We Got the Beat", during the 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

What a difference a year makes ! No more spitting from the feral punks on the 1980 tour the band had to put up with. Now they were coming back to the UK with a number one album and single under their belts.

Loved The GoGos! A couple of guys I worked with in the 90s poked fun at me because of it, but did it bother me? Nah. A couple of days later, I told one of them, “You know a lot of their music is just a throwback to the beach music sound?” He sheepishly said “I know.”
-
Valentine and Shock are one of the best rhythm sections of the ‘80’s. Just killer grooves.
-
I have seen them many times in concert. They are beyond great. Timeless music.

I will forever Love You Belinda ❤❤❤❤
