The single set and surpassed several records in the United Kingdom charts , and set a record in the United States as one of the five Beatles songs that held the top five positions in the charts simultaneously , on 4 April 1964 . It is their best - selling single and the best selling single of the 1960s in the United Kingdom . In November 2004 , Rolling Stone ranked `` She Loves You '' number 64 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . In August 2009 , at the end of its `` Beatles Weekend '' , BBC Radio 2 announced that `` She Loves You '' was the Beatles ' all - time best - selling single in the UK based on information compiled by The Official Charts Company . In Canada , the song was included on the album Twist and Shout . In the US , it was the final song on The Beatles ' Second Album .

They began writing the song on the tour bus , and continued later that night at their hotel in Newcastle eventually completing it the following day at McCartney 's family home in Forthlin Road , Liverpool . In 2000 , McCartney said the initial idea for the song began with Bobby Rydell 's hit `` Forget Him '' with its call and response pattern , and that `` as often happens , you think of one song when you write another ... I 'd planned an ' answering song ' where a couple of us would sing ' she loves you ' and the other ones would answer ' yeah yeah ' . We decided that was a crummy idea but at least we then had the idea of a song called ' She Loves You ' . So we sat in the hotel bedroom for a few hours and wrote it -- John and I , sitting on twin beds with guitars . '' Like many early Beatles songs , the title of `` She Loves You '' was framed around the use of personal pronouns . But unusually for a love song , the lyrics are not about the narrator 's love for someone else ; instead the narrator functions as a helpful go - between for estranged lovers : You think you lost your love , Well , I saw her yesterday . It 's you she 's thinking of -- And she told me what to say . She says she loves you ... This idea was attributed by Lennon to McCartney in 1980 : `` It was Paul 's idea : instead of singing ' I love you ' again , we 'd have a third party . That kind of little detail is still in his work . He will write a story about someone . I 'm more inclined to write about myself . '' Lennon , being mindful of Elvis Presley 's `` All Shook Up '' , wanted something equally as stirring : `` I do n't know where the ' yeah yeah yeah ' came from ( but ) I remember when Elvis did ' All Shook Up ' it was the first time in my life that I had heard ' uh huh ' , ' oh yeah ' , and ' yeah yeah ' all sung in the same song '' . The song also included a number of falsetto `` wooooo '' s , which Lennon acknowledged as being inspired by the Isley Brothers ' recording of `` Twist and Shout '' , which the Beatles had earlier recorded , and which had also been inserted into the group 's previous single , `` From Me to You '' . As Lennon later said : `` We stuck it in everything '' . McCartney recalls them playing the finished song on acoustic guitars to his father Jim at home immediately after the song was completed : `` We went into the living room and said ' Dad , listen to this . What do you think ? And he said ' That 's very nice son , but there 's enough of these Americanisms around . Could n't you sing ' She loves you , yes , yes , yes ! ' . At which point we collapsed in a heap and said ' No , Dad , you do n't quite get it ! ' '' . EMI recording engineer Norman Smith had a somewhat similar reaction , later recounting , `` I was setting up the microphone when I first saw the lyrics on the music stand , ' She loves you , yeah , yeah , yeah , She loves you , yeah , yeah , yeah , She loves you , yeah , yeah , yeah , Yeah ! ' I thought , Oh my God , what a lyric ! This is going to be one that I do not like . But when they started to sing it -- bang , wow , terrific , I was up at the mixer jogging around . '' The `` yeah , yeah , yeah '' refrain proved an immediate , effective , infectious musical hook . Unusually , the song starts with the hook right away , instead of introducing it after a verse or two . `` She Loves You '' does not include a bridge , instead using the refrain to join the various verses . The chords tend to change every two measures , and the harmonic scheme is mostly static . The arrangement starts with a two - count of Ringo Starr 's drums , and his fills are an important part of the record throughout . The electric instruments are mixed higher than before , especially McCartney 's bass , adding to the sense of musical power that the record provides . The lead vocal is sung by Lennon and McCartney , switching between unison and harmony . George Martin , the Beatles ' producer , questioned the validity of the major sixth chord that ends the song , an idea suggested by George Harrison . `` They sort of finished on this curious singing chord which was a major sixth , with George ( Harrison ) doing the sixth and the others doing the third and fifth in the chord . It was just like a Glenn Miller arrangement . '' The device had also been used by country music - influenced artists in the 1950s . McCartney later reflected : `` We took it to George Martin and sang ' She loves you , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeeeeeaah ... ' and that tight little sixth cluster we had at the end . George ( Martin ) said : ' It 's very corny , I would never end on a sixth ' . But we said ' It 's such a great sound , it does n't matter ' '' . The Beatles : Complete Scores shows only the notes D ( the fifth ) and E ( the sixth ) sung for the final chord , while on the recording McCartney sang G ( the root ) as Harrison sang E and Lennon sang D . Recording ( edit ) The song was recorded on 1 July 1963 using a two - track recording machine , less than a week after it was written . Documentation regarding the number of takes required and other recording details does not exist . Mixing was carried out on 4 July . Standard procedure at EMI Studios at the time was to erase the original two - track session tape for singles once they had been mixed down to the ( usually monaural ) master tape used to press records . This was the fate of four Beatles songs that were released as two singles : `` Love Me Do '' , `` P.S. I Love You '' , `` She Loves You '' and `` I 'll Get You '' . These tracks only exist as a mono master , although several mock - stereo remixes have been made by EMI affiliates worldwide , including a few made in 1966 by Abbey Road engineer Geoff Emerick . The German division of EMI ( the parent of the Beatles ' British record label Parlophone Records ) decided that the only way to sell Beatles records in Germany would be to re-record them in the German language . The band thought it unnecessary , but were asked by George Martin to comply , recording `` Sie Liebt Dich '' on 29 January 1964 , along with `` Komm , Gib Mir Deine Hand '' , at the Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris . They recorded new vocals over the original backing track to `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' but `` She Loves You '' required them to record a new rhythm track as the original two - track recording had been scrapped . Both songs were translated by Luxembourger musician Camillo Felgen , under the pseudonym of `` Jean Nicolas '' . Release ( edit ) UK ( edit ) On 23 August 1963 , the `` She Loves You '' single was released in the United Kingdom with `` I 'll Get You '' as the B - side . The songwriting credit on the label was switched to `` Lennon -- McCartney '' for this release -- a switch from the `` McCartney -- Lennon '' order of nearly all prior Beatles releases -- and would remain this way during the remainder of the band 's tenure . There was tremendous anticipation ahead of the release -- thousands of fans had ordered the group 's next single as early as June , well before a title had been known . By the day before it went on sale , some 500,000 advanced orders had been placed for it . The single set several British sales records . It entered the charts on 31 August and remained in the charts for 31 consecutive weeks , 18 of those weeks in the top three ( including every week of the months of September , October , November and December 1963 ) . During that period , it claimed the ranking of number one on 14 September , stayed number one for four weeks , dropped back to the top three , then regained the top spot for two weeks starting on 30 November . This re-gaining of the top spot was very unusual at the time . It then made its way back into the charts for two weeks on 11 April 1964 , peaking at No. 42 . It passed sales of a half million copies by early June and a million by late November , whereupon it was awarded a gold record . The song 's run on the charts coincided with the 13 October 1963 performance of the group on Sunday Night at the London Palladium and the emergence of full - blown Beatlemania in the United Kingdom . It was the best - selling single of 1963 , and is the Beatles ' all - time best - selling single in the UK . It was the best - selling single of any artist in the UK for 14 years until it was surpassed by `` Mull of Kintyre '' by Wings ( written by Paul McCartney and Denny Laine ) . As of November 2012 , it is the eighth best - selling single of all time by any artist in the UK , with sales of 1.9 million copies . US ( edit ) The group 's lack of success in the US puzzled the Beatles ' producer George Martin and manager Brian Epstein given their huge hits in the UK . Their only US release that had charted was `` From Me to You '' , which lasted three weeks in August 1963 , never going higher than No. 116 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Capitol Records had been stubborn in turning down the chance to become their record label in the US , and consequently the Beatles had been with Vee - Jay Records until that label failed to pay their royalties on time . Transglobal Music , an affiliate of EMI , held the licenses to their output in the US , and promptly ordered Vee - Jay to halt their manufacturing and distribution of Beatles records . Epstein , who needed a record label to release `` She Loves You '' in the US , asked Transglobal to find another label for him , and Transglobal came up with Swan Records . To avoid potential disagreements and lawsuits , the contract signed with Swan licensed to them only `` She Loves You '' and `` I 'll Get You '' , enough only for the A - and B - sides of a single -- and only for two years . When `` She Loves You '' came out as a single in the US on 16 September 1963 , it received a positive notice in Billboard , but garnered very little radio airplay . New York disc jockey Murray the K saw it place third out of five in a listener record contest , but it failed to take off from that . The song was also featured as a part of the Rate - a-Record segment of American Bandstand where it scored in the low 70s , noticeably lower than those songs considered to score well . Overall , it sold approximately 1,000 copies and completely failed to chart on Billboard . On 22 November 1963 , the CBS Morning News ran a five - minute feature on Beatlemania in the UK which heavily featured `` She Loves You . '' The evening 's scheduled repeat was cancelled following the assassination of John F. Kennedy the same day and the four days worth of news coverage that followed . On 10 December , Walter Cronkite decided to transmit the piece again on the CBS Evening News , and the resulting interest led to the rush - release of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' and -- only weeks before the Beatles ' arrival -- a US commercial breakthrough . In January 1964 , the Beatles released `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , which quickly climbed all the way to No. 1 , launching the `` British invasion '' of the American music scene and paving the way for more Beatles records and releases by other British artists . In the wake of that success , the Swan `` She Loves You '' single re-emerged , and entered the Billboard chart on 25 January 1964 . Beatlemania took hold of America , spurred by the group 's appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show in February , where they performed this among other songs . `` She Loves You '' spent five weeks at No. 2 , behind `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , then replaced it for two weeks at No. 1 beginning on 21 March . The Beatles are one of only two artists ever whose first two Hot 100 singles held the top two positions simultaneously on that chart . During its fifteen - week run on the American charts , `` She Loves You '' was joined by four other Beatles songs at the top five in the American charts and became part of the group setting several all - time records for the Hot 100 . Billboard ranked the record as the No. 2 song of 1964 , behind `` I Want to Hold Your Hand , '' making the Beatles the second act to hold the top two year - end record positions since Elvis Presley did it in 1956 with `` Heartbreak Hotel '' and `` Do n't Be Cruel . '' When Beatlemania reached the US , the record labels holding rights to Beatle songs re-released them in various combinations . Swan claimed to own the rights to `` Sie Liebt Dich '' , the German version of `` She Loves You '' , although they did not . On 21 May 1964 , `` Sie Liebt Dich '' was released by Swan in the US , featuring `` I 'll Get You '' on the B - side , just like the English language single . American consumers bought `` Sie Liebt Dich '' in quite modest numbers , leading to a chart peak at No. 97 on 27 June . `` She Loves You '' was included on Capitol Records ' US album , The Beatles ' Second Album , which overtook Meet the Beatles ! on 2 May 1964 , reaching the top spot in the album charts . It was the first time an artist had replaced themselves at the summit of the American album charts , and this provided a hint of the successes the Beatles would continue to achieve . Other countries ( edit ) Unlike Capitol Records ' reluctance to proceed with the Beatles in the U.S. , its Canadian subsidiary , Capitol of Canada , went ahead with the group , and `` She Loves You '' was released there in September 1963 . It was played by Ontario radio station CKWS the next month , and entered the national CHUM Chart on 2 December 1963 . It reached the top five on 23 December , a full month before any Beatles single would do the same in the US charts . It then spent nine weeks at No. 1 in the early part of 1964 . `` She Loves You '' became the first Beatles record to sell well in continental Europe and led to a Beatles tour of Sweden in late October 1963 . Prior to the Beatles ' breakthrough with `` She Loves You '' , British acts had only managed sporadic successes in continental European markets . Cultural impact and legacy ( edit ) `` She Loves You '' is the song that thrust the Beatles full - scale into the British national spotlight . Part of this was the effectiveness of the song 's hook ; author Eric Starr wrote in retrospect , `` Each chorus or refrain pounds the hook into your head until it 's imprinted in your brain . '' As Nicholas Schaffner later wrote , it was `` ' yeah , yeah , yeah ' chanted repeatedly and emphatically enough to drive any listener out of his mind , one way or the other . '' Moreover , it became the signature phrase for the group at the time . The Daily Mirror 's approving editorial of 5 November 1963 , following the Beatles ' acclaimed appearance at the Royal Variety Performance the night before , was entitled `` Yeah ! Yeah ! Yeah ! '' The New York Times ' lengthy article of 8 February 1964 , describing the frenzy accompanying the group 's arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport and in New York City , made reference to `` Yeah , yeah , yeah '' in its first paragraph , continuation headline , and closing paragraph . An Associated Press story describing the positive critical reaction to the group 's film A Hard Day 's Night was headlined `` ' Yeah , Yeah , Yeah ' For Beatles ' Film '' and labeled `` She Loves You '' as `` the original ' Yeah , Yeah , Yeah , ' song '' . The phrase became synonymous not just with the Beatles but with the associated kind of popular music overall . A New York Times account describing the Animals ' introductory concert in the city later that year repeated the phrase in description of the group . Clinton Heylin remarks that the chorus `` no , no , no '' in Bob Dylan 's 1964 song `` It Ai n't Me , Babe '' was taken as a parody of the Beatles ' `` yeah , yeah , yeah '' in `` She Loves You '' . The melody in both phrases uses a scale descending through a minor third . In 1975 , authors Roy Carr and Tony Tyler wrote in The Beatles : An Illustrated Record that `` If a future archivist were to select one single tune to characterise the Beatles ' appeal and the stylistic devices for which they became world famous , he would be forced to choose ' She Loves You ' . '' In 1979 , author Greil Marcus included `` She Loves You '' in his Stranded : Rock and Roll for a Desert Island list of essential rock records . Even more fundamentally , Marcus posed the question of what one would tell a Martian who landed and asked the meaning of rock and roll ? The first answer would be `` She Loves You '' . The British establishment at that time found the refrain `` yeah , yeah , yeah '' controversial . National radio in the form of the BBC broadcast the single and `` in some quarters it was seen to hail the collapse of civilised society '' . `` Yeah , yeah , yeah '' was to have a great effect on the Beatles ' image -- in some parts of Europe , they became known as the Yeah - Yeahs . As late as the mid-1970s , some countries in Southeast Asia were still putting out edicts that forbade Beatles haircuts and so - called `` yeah , yeah , yeah music '' . Walter Ulbricht , General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany in the Communist German Democratic Republic , referenced the song in a famous speech about copying culture from the western world , using the term `` monotony of the yeah yeah yeah and whatever it is called '' . British Prime Minister Alec Douglas - Home made a gaffe in February 1964 : his speechwriters , trying to make him appear in touch with popular culture , wrote him the line , `` I 'm too modest to claim the country loves us , but you know that ca n't be bad . '' However , he appeared not to understand the reference , and actually said , `` but you know , err , that ca n't be too bad . '' On 10 December 1980 , following the murder of John Lennon in Manhattan two nights previously , British tabloid newspaper The Sun printed the front - page headline `` They Loved Him Yeah Yeah Yeah '' . On 27 July 2012 , a portion of `` She Loves You '' as well as footage of the band performing the song was included in a montage of British music during the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games . Later Beatles use ( edit ) `` She Loves You '' was sometimes played by the group during performances on the BBC , and one such recording is included on On Air -- Live at the BBC Volume 2 , released in 2013 . A concert performance of the song , recorded at the Prince of Wales Theatre , London , on 4 November 1963 , for the Royal Variety Performance , appeared in 1995 on Anthology 1 . Although not one of the new songs that predominated in their July 1964 film debut A Hard Day 's Night , it was used as the finale of the concert that closes the movie . `` She Loves You '' was a staple of the set list of early Beatles tours , and appeared on The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl . By late 1964 , it had been dropped in favour of newer songs and the other artists ' material that remained in their show . It did not appear in the group 's 1965 or 1966 concert performances . The Beatles later sang the chorus of `` She Loves You '' in the long fade - out of `` All You Need Is Love '' , and a carnival - styled organ version of the song is featured in their 1967 television film Magical Mystery Tour . `` She Loves You '' was included in the Beatles compilation albums A Collection of Beatles Oldies ( 1966 , not released in the US ) , 1962 -- 1966 ( 1973 ) , 20 Greatest Hits ( 1982 ) , Past Masters , Volume One ( 1988 ) , and 1 ( 2000 ) . The song was also included on the American promotional version of the Rarities album , issued as the bonus disc in the limited edition boxed set The Beatles Collection , in November 1978 . The Capitol Records ' US album , The Beatles ' Second Album , on which the song had been featured , was included in the 2004 CD release The Capitol Albums , Volume 1 and rereleased in 2014 , individually and in the boxed set The US Albums . `` Sie Liebt Dich '' was included on both the 1978 British Rarities and the 1980 American Rarities as well as on Past Masters , Volume One . The 2009 CD rerelease of the Beatles ' catalog included `` She Loves You '' and `` Sie Liebt Dich '' on Past Masters ( mono and stereo , respectively ) and on Mono Masters ( mono ) . Paul McCartney sang `` We love you , yeah , yeah , yeah '' at the end of his duet with Stevie Wonder titled `` What 's That You 're Doing ? '' from Tug of War . McCartney has not played the full song in any of his Wings or solo concert tours , but has replicated its use to end performances of `` All You Need Is Love '' during his 2011 -- 2012 On the Run Tour .

Renamed `` He Loves You '' , it appeared on her 1965 album , Top Teen Hits ( also known as Brenda Lee Sings Top Teen Hits ) . Several recording artists included the song on albums made up of nothing but Beatles covers : Mary Wells in 1965 on her album Love Songs to The Beatles , where it was also renamed `` He Loves You '' ; bandleader Count Basie on 1966 album Basie 's Beatle Bag ; and the cartoon group The Chipmunks , whose The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles Hits included `` She Loves You .
