Unable to develop a theme song for the film, inspiration finally struck Whitfield while watching a game of basketball, and he wrote his first draft of 'Car Wash' on a paper bag from a fried chicken eatery. Although Whitfield did not want the project, he decided to do so, both for financial incentives as well as the chance to give Rose Royce, a disco/funk backing band that Whitfield signed to his own label in 1975, the exposure they needed to become mainstream. The former Motown Records producer Norman Whitfield had been commissioned to record the soundtrack album for Car Wash by the director Michael Schultz.

The song was covered in 2004 by Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott, who released their version as the single for the Shark Tale soundtrack. Reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Soul Singles charts, 'Car Wash' also peaked at number three on the National Disco Action Top 30 chart and reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart in February 1977. 'Car Wash', the theme of the 1976 film Car Wash, was Rose Royce's most successful single and the lead single from their first studio album, the Car Wash soundtrack. Written and arranged by the ex- Motown producer Norman Whitfield, the song was the group's first single and one of the most notable successes of the 1970s disco era. ' Car Wash' is a song by the American soul and R&B band Rose Royce. 3: 18 (Single Version) 5:06 (Album Version)
