That marks the only time the song was ever performed in front of a live audience, which consisted of 350 paid actors, one of whom was a thirteen-year old Phil Collins. The song was part of the "studio performance" sequence, which was filmed at the Scala Theatre, London, on 31 March 1964. "Tell Me Why" was performed in the Beatles' debut feature film, A Hard Day's Night. In the chorus, John's lead vocal part sits higher than George's, and more unusual in this case, Paul's harmonies. John, Paul, and George sing a three-part harmony. Its basic structure of simple doo-wop chord changes and block harmonies over a walking bass line "creates an illusion of sincerity through its sheer attack". Lennon described the song as resembling "a black New York girl-group song". I think a lot of these songs like "Tell Me Why" may have been based in real experiences or affairs John was having, or arguments with Cynthia or whatever, but it never occurred to us until later to put that slant on it all. Credited to Lennon–McCartney, it was written by John Lennon in either Paris or New York City, and recorded in eight takes on 27 February 1964. In North America, it was released on both the American version of A Hard Day's Night and the album Something New.
