The soundtrack songs were recorded in March 1962 at the Radio Recorders Studios in Hollywood, California with the songs "Where Do You Come From" and "I Don't Want To" added to the music album released to coincide with the film's debut. The Leiber-Stoller title track was a hit for The Coasters in 1961 before being adapted for the Presley film. Besides the album itself, "Return to Sender" was released as a single and became a major hit for Elvis.
