The song was originally recorded by The Mamas & the Papas for their album The Papas & the Mamas, but upon their split, it was released under the credit "Mama Cass with The Mamas & the Papas". The single hit No. 12 on the charts, becoming a career-defining moment for Elliot. It led to her recording the Dream a Little Dream album, produced by Lou Adler and John Simon, which featured tracks like "California Earthquake" and "Blues for Breakfast." Frank Sinatra's version never even charted comparatively.
In 2024, Elliot's daughter, Owen Elliot-Kugell, told the BBC that this rumor was completely false.

She was also slated to attend Mick Jagger's birthday party all night, go on to an afternoon brunch thrown in her honor, and then meet a U.S. journalist for tea.
