The song was composed by Phil Spector, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil, with the Righteous Brothers recording the initial version in 1964. It served as the lead single and title track from their 1965 album. Spector's production is recognized by music critics as a prime example of his Wall of Sound technique. Upon release, the recording achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching the top position in early February 1965 across the United States and United Kingdom charts. It finished fifth on Billboard's year-end Hot 100 rankings for 1965 and has charted in the UK Top Ten multiple times.
