CAN'T BUY ME LOVE
by BEATLES

Can't Buy Me Love was taken from The Beatles' third studio album, A Hard Day's Night, a body of work that started a new phase in the band's career, as every single track on the record was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, under the moniker Lennon-McCartney, now looked on as perhaps the greatest songwriting partnership in the history of recorded music.

Recorded at EMI's Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris, France in January of 1964, when producer George Martin first heard Can't Buy Me Love, he felt that the song needed a tweak, saying "I thought that we really needed a tag for the song's ending, and a tag for the beginning; a kind of intro. So I took the first two lines of the chorus and changed the ending, and said 'Let's just have these lines, and by altering the second phrase we can get back into the verse pretty quickly.'" 

"That's not a bad idea, we'll do it that way", agreed The Beatles.

Can't Buy Me Love went on to become the third best-selling song of the 1960s here in the UK.
