We Got the Beat

We Got the Beat is a 1980 song by the American rock band The Go-Go's. Rachel Platten's version with modified lyrics serves as the opening song in My Little Pony: The Movie. Part of the song is also featured in the film's second official trailer. It is notably absent from the soundtrack album.

Production
According to film composer Daniel Ingram, he had an alternate opening for the movie; but Equestria[1][2] was swapped out last minute for Platten's version of "We Got the Beat".
