"She Loves You" hit British shops as a Parlophone single on 23 August 1963, and it's the Beatles in full cry: John Lennon and Paul McCartney sharing the lead vocal like two kids shouting good news across a playground, George Harrison's electric guitar ringing behind them and chiming in on harmony, McCartney's bass bounding, Ringo Starr pounding the drums with delight. Lennon and McCartney wrote it; George Martin produced, with Norman Smith engineering.

The numbers that followed were ridiculous. It became the band's best-selling single in Britain and the top seller of the 1960s there by anybody, and on 4 April 1964 it was one of 5 Beatles songs holding the top 5 places in the American chart at once. Canadians found it on the Twist and Shout album, and in the US it closed The Beatles' Second Album.
