"I Feel Fine" is a riff-driven rock song mainly written by John Lennon (although credited to Lennon/McCartney) and released in 1964 by The Beatles as the A side of their eighth UK single. The song reached the top of the charts on December 12 of that year, displacing The Rolling Stones' "Little Red Rooster," and remained there for five weeks. The b-side was She's A Woman, mainly written by Paul McCartney. It also reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1964.
"I Feel Fine" burgeoned from its distinctive guitar riff, written by Lennon while in the studio recording "Eight Days a Week." "I actually wrote 'I Feel Fine' around the riff which is going on in the background," Lennon recalled.[citation needed] "I told them that I'd write a song specially for this riff so they said, 'Yes. You go away and do that,' knowing that we'd almost finished Beatles for Sale. Anyway, going into the studio one.
