Some of the more conservative radio stations reportedly banned the track from being played due to suggestive lyrics that were deemed unacceptable for the time. However, this didn't stop the song from becoming a big hit, as the controversies pushed it to become a best-selling chart-topper.
The song was written by a legendary songwriting duo: 18-year-old Carole King and her then-husband, Gerry Goffin. Exploring themes of intimacy and the implication that a young woman lost her virginity after a first date, the lyrics were said to have been too "sexually charged" for the time.
When it was first written, the track had a country vibe, as opposed to the more pop-R&B sound that we now know and love. The Shirelles had originally turned down the country-esque version, which the group reportedly weren't on board with.
Of course, the group ultimately decided to go ahead and record the redefined track, and evidently, the decision paid off.
