It is rumored that the song was written about Mick Jagger's then-girlfriend Chrissie Shrimpton.
The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards during their 1965 tour of the United States. The song was recorded during the Aftermath sessions between December 3 and 8, 1965 at RCA Recording Studios in Hollywood, California, at the conclusion of their fourth North American tour. The song talks of a difficult, spoiled girl who cannot appreciate life. Mick Jagger says he came up with the title first, and then wrote the lyrics around the title. It was released as a single on February 4, 1966 and reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in America, and in the U.K. Record Retailer chart. However, it hit #1 in the NME chart and the BBC's Pick of the Pops chart, both of which were more widely recognized in Britain at the time.
The hypnotic riff Brian Jones is playing during the verses pays a tribute to Bo Diddley's song "Diddley Daddy", Diddley being a major influence on the Stones' style. The song is also well-known for Bill Wyman's so-called "dive-bombing" bass line at the end of the song.
This was one of three songs ("(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "As Tears Go By" being the other two) the Rolling Stones performed on their Ed Sullivan Show appearance in 1966, their first color broadcast on U.S. television. [From Wikipedia]
