Love Me Do is the first single by the most famous British band that has ever existed: The Beatles. It belongs to the album Please, please me, and was published in October 1962, although the record under the Parlophone label, did not come to light until five months later.

The importance of Love me do is that it catapulted the group, marked the beginning of a very successful career, of a revolution in the music industry in the 60s of the last century. Since Love me do, The Beatles had many high-impact numbers that spread rapidly throughout the world, as real proof of the universal language that music constitutes, of its power to unite and summon. It’s a love song, happy, simple, short; it highlights the use of the harmonica and drums, and was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It managed to discreetly enter the lists of the most listened to music in Europe and the United States, but the following year it already occupied the first place, and by then the world was experiencing The Beatles fever.

Love me do was the beginning of everything. The band only lasted for eight years, enough time to change the course of pop rock forever and leave a deep mark on international popular taste and on generations of people around the world, until today.
