The songwriting is credited to Gerry Marsden and the other band members, Freddie Marsden, Les Chadwick and Les Maguire. It was first recorded by Louise Cordet, who had previously toured with the group as well as with The Beatles, and then recorded by the group themselves in early 1964. This was produced by Beatles producer George Martin at Abbey Road, another example of his lush, melancholy string arrangements.
The song has been recorded by many other singers, including Steve Lawrence (1964), José Feliciano (1968), Rickie Lee Jones (1989), Gloria Estefan (1994), Jeff Buckley (1998), Paul Carrack (2010), and Nellie McKay (2015).
