Phillips said that he wrote the song quickly, in about 20 minutes.[4] The song includes a pregnant pause before the coda, which modulates up a semitone. Succeeding Good Lovin' by the Young Rascals in the number one position, the event marked the first time in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 two songs with pregnant pauses were consecutive number one hits.
On March 2, 1967, the Mamas & the Papas won a Grammy Award for this song, in the category Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
The song was performed at the Monterey Pop Festival (California) in 1967. The performance was filmed for the movie of the festival, but not included in the final print.
The song appears on the soundtrack of Michael Apted's film Stardust.
