"Surfer Girl" was released on August 3, 1963, and it reached No. 7 on the Billboard charts by September 14 of that same year. Backed by "Little Deuce Coupe," the song was a double hit for the band, with the single's B-side reaching No. 15 on the charts.
Wilson was quoted on his official Instagram page about the song's writing process. He explained, “One afternoon, I was in my car, and I thought of a piece that grew into a longer piece. It started with me humming a Disney song, 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' which Dion and the Belmonts sang."

It combined with other songs I knew, like the Four Freshmen’s 'Little Girl Blue,' and eventually it didn’t sound like anything I had heard before. It sounded like maybe it was my own. I wrote part of it in my head in my car, and then I finished it when I got back to the house.”
“‘Surfer Girl’ was my group’s ballad theme song. It means a lot to me spiritually, and it is really a song about how the group first started singin’ pretty harmonies," he began.
In a YouTube video for his official account, Wilson named "Surfer Girl" with "California Girls" as his two favorite Beach Boys songs. He called it his "best ballad achievement."
More than 60 years later, the song remains one of Brian Wilson’s most cherished and emotionally rich recordings.
