Writing and recording


The song was written by Doc Pomus and Norman Meade (real name Jordan "Jerry" Ragovoy).[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

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.)[12]

Presley recorded the song on June 10, 1964, at the June 10–12 and 15 soundtrack sessions for the M.G.M. movie Girl Happy at the Radio Recorders studio in Hollywood, California.[13]
