Background "We Fit Together" was written by Joe Belmaati, Mich Hansen, and Remee, while production on the track was helmed by Bemlaati and Hansen under their production moniker Cutfather & Joe. Recorded in "a tiny studio in Hong Kong" while promoting their self-titled debut album, the song initially appeared on the soundtrack to the fantasy comedy film Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001) and was later included on the band's self-titled debut album after being selected as their third single. On their decision to release the song as a single, band member Jacob Underwood commented in an interview with MTV News: "We just wanted it to be something fun. "All or Nothing" was a very serious big-time ballad. We wanted to go to the opposite [end] of the spectrum – something fun, something for summertime that people could dance to. The lyrics weren't anything serious. It didn't tell a story."
Music video A music video for the song, directed by Marcus Raboy, depicts the band cavorting on a paradisiacal beach and on an ocean liner. The crew suffered from heavy seasickness during filming.
