Komm, gib mir deine Hand / Sie liebt dich

Swan Records released "Sie liebt dich", along with the original "She Loves You" B-side "I'll Get You", as a single in the United States in May 1964.

Capitol included "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" as the closing track of the 1964 North American-only album Something New.

The two-track tapes of "She Loves You" from July 1963 were erased after the mono master was made, forcing the Beatles to record "Sie liebt dich" entirely from scratch.

[3] On 25 January 1964, after returning to the hotel from a show, Beatles manager Brian Epstein informed them that "I Want to Hold Your Hand" reached number one in the United States on the Cashbox Top 100 chart.

[10][nb 3] Felgen initially translated both sides of the original "She Loves You" single, with the A-side becoming "Sie liebt dich" and the B-side "I'll Get You" becoming "Glücklich wie noch nie".

[15] Felgen translated under several pen names, including Jean Nicolas, Heinz Hellmer and Lee Montague.

On 24 January 1964 at EMI Recording Studios, engineer Norman Smith made a tape-to-tape copy of the basic rhythm track of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" from take 17 of the original 17 October 1963 session.

So the German and I jumped into a taxi, we got to the hotel and I barged into their suite, to be met by this incredible sight, right out of the Mad Hatter's tea party.

Jane Asher – Paul [McCartney]'s girlfriend – with her long red hair, was pouring tea from a china pot, and the others were sitting around her like March Hares.

[7]The Beatles recorded "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" and "Sie liebt dich", along with McCartney's new song "Can't Buy Me Love", at EMI's Pathé Marconi Studios in Paris.

[7] On 10 March 1964, while the Beatles filmed A Hard Day's Night, Martin, assisted by Smith, mixed "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" and "Sie liebt dich" for mono at EMI Recording Studios.

[28] Everett comments that the most noticeable differences between the mixes of "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" are Lennon's compressed Capri guitar, which is heard more freely in the German version, and Harrison's Gent guitar, which has a different bass register.

[29] The custom of recording special versions for foreign markets, standard practice at the time, was never afterwards bothered with by the Beatles and consequently fell into disuse.

[8] Odeon released the German single of "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" b/w "Sie liebt dich" across West Germany in March 1964.

[35] After the Beatles recorded "Sie liebt dich", Swan argued they likewise held the rights to that song.

[38] Capitol Records included "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" as the closing track on the Beatles' North American album Something New in July 1964.

[13] Peter Doggett credits the Beatles popularity with helping spread the English language throughout Europe, especially among young people.

In addition, the release eliminates a stray English word ("coming") present on the original stereo version of "Komm, gib mir deine Hand".

The song remained unavailable in the US until Capitol included the stereo version on the 1980 American compilation album Rarities.

[49] "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" is featured in the 2019 World War II film Jojo Rabbit, directed by Taika Waititi, and its soundtrack.

After initially being denied, the film's composer Michael Giacchino helped secure the rights to the song by contacting McCartney, with whom he had previously worked.
