The story behind

The Beatles recorded What You’re Doing in 1964, as part of the album Beatles for Sale. The song was released in December of that year, along with other tracks that formed the band's fourth studio album. It was a quick release, made in just five months after A Hard Day's Night.

The song lasts two and a half minutes, and sounds like a classic rock piece, with a straightforward structure and energy that remains throughout the track. Although it was not the most successful single from the album, it became a piece that fans recognize for its rhythm and playing style.
