—John Lennon, Beatles interviewed by Klas Burling following show, 23 Aug 1963 |
||
| “ | If we write one song, then we can get going after that and get more ideas. We wrote 'I'll Get You,' which is the B-side, first. And then 'She Loves You' came after that... We got ideas from that. Then we recorded it. | „ |

—Paul McCartney, Beatles interviewed by Klas Burling following show, 23 Aug 1963 |

| “ | That was Paul and me trying to write a song... and it didn't work out. | „ |
|
—John Lennon, 1980 |
||
| “ | It's got an interesting chord in it: 'It's not easy to pre-tend'. That was nicked from a song called 'All My Trials' which is on an album I had by Joan Baez: 'There's only one thing that money can't buy.' It's like D, which goes to an A minor, which is unusual, you'd normally go from a D to an A major. It's a change that had always fascinated me, so I put it in. I liked that slightly faggy way we sang. 'Oh yeah, oh yeah,' which was very distinctive, very Beatley. | „ |
