Think Pink is a song performed by the Pink Ladies in the Paramount+ original series, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.
Overview[]
The Pink Ladies hoped to recruit Hazel Robertson to their gang, as they needed a logical member to balance out their insaneness. Nancy presented a spare jacket, and it was Hazel's if she wanted it. Jane stopped her, as Hazel needed to take the pledge first. The girls didn't have a pledge, at least not yet. Jane put her hand over her heart and looked at Olivia, who improvised - to act cool. Nancy added to look cool, and Cynthia finished with to be cool. Jane smiled as she added till death do them part, think pink. Hazel presented one problem - she wasn't cool. The Pink Ladies grinned and began their song, about how Hazel was one of them, what it took to be a Pink Lady, and what the pledge really meant. They danced around the carnival, took space on stages, sat on a picnic table with Hazel on top, and danced with the other students. The Socs danced together, with Dot jumping in Rosemary's arms. The T-Birds slid in front of the girls and tried to remove their belts to moon them, but Miss McGee chased them away. The girls ended their song - and pledge - with their hands held together.[1]

We see right through ya

Notes and Trivia[]
- There were several references to other songs that have taken place this season, both in lyrics and dance moves.
- The dance move for the lyric "stronger together" is the same one Olivia did in her solo song "Sorry to Distract".
- The lyric "we're the new cool" is accompanied by the same dance move that the T-Birds orchestrated in their song "New Cool". The lyric itself is also a nod to the song.
- the student body and Pink Ladies standing around the picnic table with Hazel on top parallels the Pink Ladies choreography in "Face to Face".
- The march the group does after the picnic table scene is the same one done in the ensemble song, "Pointing Fingers".
- The Pink Ladies held hands in a circle and raised their arms up, which paralleled their finish to "Different This Year (reprise)" from the series premeire.
- The song itself uses lyrics and the iconic pledge from "Back To School Again", a song from Grease 2.
- The Pink Ladies performed in front of the shake shack set, which is also where the Grease song "You're The One That I Want" was sung.
- This the final original song performed in Season 1.
