This song was co-written by Easybeats guitarists George Young and Harry Vanda, who were the primary songwriters in the group (Young is the older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young from AC/DC). Vanda described the song as reminiscent of the days where the band members lived in hostels in Sydney as "New Australians," where they hung out for the end of the week because of the fun it brought. The Easybeats were already huge in their native Australia when they recorded this song, but this was their first hit outside of that country. After scoring several Aussie hits in 1965, they got an international distribution deal in 1966. In the UK, "Come And See Her" was their first single, and in the US, "Make You Feel Alright (Women)" was chosen. Their second single in each territory was "Friday On My Mind," which was their breakthrough (the song was also a monster in Australia, where it was #1 for eight weeks). The group was not able to capitalize, falling victim to drug abuse, management struggles, and internal strife. It was six month before their next single, "Who'll Be The One," appeared, and listeners were underwhelmed. They never had another US hit and in the UK managed just one more: "Hello, How are You," which made #20 in 1968.
