What was the B-side of The Beach Boys' single 'I Get Around'?

The B-side of the Beach Boys’ “I Get Around” single was “Don’t Worry Baby.”

Capitol Records released the single in the United States on May 11, 1964, pairing the fast, confident “I Get Around” with the more vulnerable “Don’t Worry Baby.” That contrast made the record especially revealing: the A-side projected motion and swagger, while the B-side centered on reassurance and romantic anxiety.

Brian Wilson and Roger Christian wrote “Don’t Worry Baby.” Wilson produced the recording and sang lead, with the Beach Boys’ layered harmonies providing the characteristic vocal texture. The song has since become one of the group’s most admired recordings and is often cited as a key example of Wilson’s sophisticated early-1960s production style.

The pairing is sometimes confused with songs from the same period. “All Summer Long” was an album track and later a single, while “Wendy” and “Little Honda” were associated with other Beach Boys releases. “Don’t Worry Baby” was not merely another track from the era: it was the official B-side issued with “I Get Around.”
