Background

The song Please Please Me first appeared as a single almost a year earlier on February 25, 1963 with Ask Me Why as the B-side. The first time, the single did nothing on the record charts. However, by this time Beatlemania was rising to fever pitch, and so Vee Jay opted to re-release Please Please Me again, along with another song as the B-side From Me To You. This time, the results were much better, with the single at #3 on all three charts, and on Billboard, sandwiched in between four other Beatles singles making up the whole top five. For the B-side, Billboard and Record World charted From Me To You with it peaking at number 41 on Billboard and number 46 on Record World.
