Them's version of the song was the second Them track produced by Bert Berns and the first occasion that Them recorded one of his compositions.

It was recorded in a session at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, London in October 1964 along with "Baby, Please Don't Go" and "All For Myself".

Andy White and Tommy Scott performed backing vocals with Phil Coulter on keyboards.

Drummer Ronnie Millings recalled that the band worked on the song at the studio with rehearsals lasting four days.

[Billy Harrison noted that "I remember sitting in Decca when Bert said he had this song, and he came out with "Here Comes the Night".

The band members of Them were said to be bitterly disappointed by this decision made by Decca and Phil Solomon.

[7] Despite a bold, breezy tone the song's lyrics tell a tale of obsessive jealousy and approaching loneliness from the point of view of a rejected lover who voyeuristically watches the new couple.

After the record was released, Them was immediately sent on a public relations push with television appearances on Ready Steady Go!

We were really into the blues...and we had to get into suits and have make-up put on and all that.."Here Comes The Night" also achieved chart success in other countries worldwide; for example, it reached No.

"[12] Cash Box described it as "a funky, twangy blues-tinged opus with an infectious rhythmic back-beat.
