Ask Me Why

Ask Me Why é uma canção dos Beatles originalmente lançada no Reino Unido como lado B do single "Please Please Me" . Também foi incluída no primeiro álbum britânico deles, Please Please Me.

A canção foi composta principalmente por John Lennon,[1] mas creditada a Paul McCartney e John Lennon, como todas impressões do álbum. A canção fez parte da audição dos Beatles da Parlophone nos Abbey Road Studios no dia 6 de junho de 1962.[1][2] O arranjo da canção foi inspirado no estilo de Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.[3]

"Ask Me Why" foi gravada no dia 26 de novembro de 1962, no mesmo dia que tentaram gravar outra canção de Lennon/McCartney chamada "Tip of My Tongue" que junto com "Ask Me Why" era considerada para fazer parte do lado B do single de "Please Please Me" single.[3] Entretanto, o produtor George Martin sentiu que "Tip of My Tongue" precisava ser mais trabalhada, e acabou dando-a para Tommy Quickly gravá-la.[4]
