"I Only Want to Be with You" is a song by Mike Hawker and Ivor Raymonde. It was the first solo single released by British singer Dusty Springfield under her long-time producer Johnny Franz. It has since been recorded by many artists and has charted several times. Recorded while Dusty Springfield was still a member of The Springfields, the song was released in November 1963, three weeks after The Springfields' final concert. The recording session took place at Olympic Studios Carton Street. It was a popular success, reaching #4 UK, #12 US, #6 Australia, and #21 Canada. In the US, she was the second artist of the British Invasion after The Beatles to have a hit, entering the Billboard chart at #77 in the last week of January 1964 (The Beatles having "She Loves You" at #69 and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" at #3).
