2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a week (behind "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" by The Righteous Brothers), eventually becoming one of Cher's biggest-selling singles of the 1960s.

Produced by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child, the song featured backing vocals by Jon Bon Jovi and Michael Bolton, among others and was released as a promotional single in 1988.

Featuring haunting tremolo guitar played by her arranger, Billy Strange, Sinatra's version had a resurgence in popularity when it was used by Quentin Tarantino over the opening credits of his 2003 film Kill Bill Volume 1.

In the sequence preceding the credits, Tarantino created a literal, bloody interpretation of the song's chorus and its third verse, about a wedding day.

Sinatra's version was sampled and featured on the 2005 electro house track "Shot You Down" by Audio Bullys, which peaked at #3 in the United Kingdom and #20 in Australia.

[32] A cover version sung in Italian by Dalida reached #1 in Italy in 1966 and remained on the chart for two months, earning her a gold record.

[35] Bengali-Pakistani pop singer Alamgir uses the melody of the song in his 1983 release "Mere Lafzo Ki Mehkar Tu" ("You are the fragrance of my words").

Alternating between Sinatra's musical arrangement in the verses (sung by Skylar Grey) and driving EDM instrumental breaks, the single was certified gold and platinum in multiple countries.
