The song was a cover of one by The Monkees. Their version as not released as a single, but did appear on a 4 track EP called ‘She’. This was the second hit for The Dealians which was a cover of a Monkees’ song with ‘Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow’ (a number 1 for The Dealians) being the previous one. It would be the first of 12 to chart which noted Peter Lotis as the producer and would rank 3rd out of the 12 for top 20 points, beaten by Neville Whitmill’s ‘Get me Some Help’ (#2) and Alan Garrity’s ‘I Need Someone’ (#1).
