It was the first Stones' single to be released simultaneously (23 September 1966) in both the UK and the US, and reached number five and number nine on those countries' charts, respectively.
Jack Nitzsche, friend of the band and their occasional pianist, is credited in the session logs to piano.
Multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones is credited in the logs for playing the piano.
Peter Whitehead's promotional film for the single was one of the first music videos.
The Stones only performed the song live over a span of twelve days during their 1966 tour.
