A canção foi lançada inicialmente no Reino Unido em 9 de maio de 1980 pela Stiff Records, mas recebeu críticas por ter sido artificialmente acelerada.
A primeira versão alcançou a posição 35 na parada Hot Dance Club Play dos Estados Unidos, ganhando popularidade entre importações para clubs.
A banda gravou uma nova versão em Nova York em 1981, realizada em um ritmo mais lento sob a direção do produtor Richard Gottehrer e impulsionada pela bateria de Gina Schock.
"We Got the Beat" atingiu o pico na segunda posição da parada pop da Billboard em março de 1982, um mês após sua entrada devido ao sucesso do single anterior "Our Lips Are Sealed".
A faixa foi incluída na lista das "500 Músicas que Moldaram o Rock and Roll" pelo Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
A música foi utilizada na sequência de abertura do filme de 1982 "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".
