They began writing the song on the tour bus, and continued later that night at their hotel in Newcastle. "She Loves You" was completed the following day at McCartney's family home in Forthlin Road, Liverpool."Forget Him" peaked in the United States in early 1964 and was ranked No. 20 on Cash Box's "Top 100 Chart Hits of 1964".
