Placed alongside Paul’s “I Will” in the tracklist, it clearly highlights the contrast between the two personalities.

It’s the B-side of their second original single, “Please Please Me,” released in January 1963.
The song is primarily by John Lennon, who also handles lead vocals.
A live recording believed to have been captured on December 31, 1962, at the Star-Club in Hamburg has been issued in various forms since 1977.
Eight Days A WeekThe Beatles
This is the first song in the world to introduce a fade-in where the volume gradually increases from zero in the intro.
From an intro that feels like it’s approaching from afar, John belts out a catchy melody set to the playful phrase “I want to love you eight days a week.” The handclaps sound fun, too.
