The song, along with two others from the album ("Baby's in Black" and "No Reply"), was considered for a single release. In the end, it was released as a single in the United States on 15 February 1965 (as Capitol 5371), becoming a number-one hit (their seventh in that country). The B-side was "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party". The single release in the US was the result of DJs playing the song from imported copies of the "Beatles for Sale" album as an exclusive since it did not appear on the album's US counterpart, "Beatles '65", nor did the B-side. Both tracks were included on the North American album "Beatles VI", released in June 1965.
