"I'm definitely keeping it as close to the melody as possible," Jessie has said of her version of the song, which was originally sung by Franki Valli. "I've definitely thrown in what I kind of like to do and just put a little bit of me into it."
"Grease Live" is airing on Sunday, January 31. The show has also booked Boyz II Men to perform the classic "Beauty School Dropout Scene" and Joe Jonas' DNCE to appear at Rydell High's school dance. Jepsen, who will portray Frenchy, will additionally sing a new track.
