Writing and recording



The song was written by Doc Pomus and Norman Meade (real name Jordan "Jerry" Ragovoy).

There was also a first attempt at writing a title song for the movie. The first song was penned by Doc Pomus with his long-time collaborator Mort Shuman, but was rejected. (The Pomus-Shuman collaboration started to disintegrate back in 1961 and since then Doc Pomus was encouraged to work with other songwriters.)

Presley recorded the song on June 10, 1964, at the June 1012 and 15 soundtrack sessions for the M.G.M. movie 'Girl Happy' at the Radio Recorders studio in Hollywood, California.
