Written by Bert Berns, who also wrote "Twist and Shout", "Piece of My Heart", "Hang on Sloopy", and "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love". It was by Lulu 6 months earlier and is best known for "To Sir with Love" from the 1967 film of the same name and with the title song to the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun.
According to Phil Coulter the band had intended this song to be the follow-up to "Baby, Please Don't Go" but Decca rush-released a recording of the song by Lulu in November 1964. The band members of Them were said to be bitterly disappointed by this decision made by Decca and Phil Solomon. Phil Coulter remarked: "They bitched to me a lot but they wouldn't dare to have said anything to Solomon." The band was said to have a "certain grim satisfaction" as Lulu's recording reached No. 50 and then dropped off the charts. For Them it charted at No. 2 in the UK and No. 24 in the US.
Jimmy Page played guitar on this arrangement.
