It was recorded without the Shadows, instead featuring session musicians and backing vocals by the Jordinaires.[1] The B-side, "The Night”, was credited with the Shadows and was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, then known as EMI, in October 1965.[4] Both tracks were included on the EP Wind Me Up.[5]
