In Australia, the single spent nine nonconsecutive weeks at the top and became the best charting single of the year. As of 2018, it is still the fifth best-selling single of all time in the United Kingdom, where it has sold two million copies. It also topped the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks in the summer of 1978, some months before the film had even been released in that country. In the United States, the single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and on July 18 was certified Platinum for shipments exceeding 2 million copies. Upon its release in conjunction with the film (and its status as a potential blockbuster worldwide), the single became a huge international hit, reaching number one in several countries. Most 21st-century performances of the musical also include "You're the One That I Want" instead of "All Choked Up". "All Choked Up" was one of two songs from the Jacobs/Casey score that was excised completely from both the film and the film's soundtrack.
The song originally written at this point in the original musical, "All Choked Up" (which had previously replaced a song titled "Kiss It"), was similar in theme, but different in style, written as a pastiche of Elvis Presley's " All Shook Up" and with Sandy being more provocative. In the song, Danny expresses pleasant shock and arousal at Sandy's transformation, with Sandy responding that Danny must "shape up" to prove himself capable of treating her the right way.

Record World called it "a frantic, up-tempo duet between the two stars that is bound to leave listeners breathless." Synopsis ĭanny Zuko (Travolta), leader of the T-Birds, has recently lettered in cross-country running in an effort to win back his estranged girlfriend Sandy Olsson (Newton-John) unbeknownst to him, Sandy, who has been conflicted about her upright and proper etiquette in a school full of brash greasers, has herself transformed into a greaser queen to win back Danny. Randal Kleiser, the film's director, was not fond of this song because he felt that it did not mesh well with the rest of the Warren Casey- Jim Jacobs score.
"You're the One That I Want" was one of the two singles, along with " Hopelessly Devoted to You", that Farrar wrote specifically for Newton-John's appearance in the film that had not been in the original stage musical.
The song is one of the best-selling singles in history to date, having sold over 4 million copies in the United States and the United Kingdom alone, with estimates of more than 15 million copies sold overall. It was written and produced by John Farrar, and released in 1978 as the second single from Grease: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture. " You're the One That I Want" is a song performed by American actor and singer John Travolta and Anglo-Australian singer, songwriter and actress Olivia Newton-John for the 1978 film version of the musical Grease.
