Release, Pastiche, Covers and Parody
The song was released in 1965 on the Help album. In November 1977, Capitol Records scheduled the release of "Girl" backed with "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" as a single (Capitol 4506) to accompany the release of Love Songs, a compilation album which contained both songs. However, the single was cancelled before it was issued.
