"Sweets For My Sweet" is a song written by the songwriting team of Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, originally recorded by The Drifters. In 1963, "Sweets for My Sweet" became the debut single on the Pye label for Merseybeat band The Searchers, reaching number one on the UK Single Chart for two weeks that August. The Searchers' version was also issued in the US in the spring of 1964 but failed to chart. In the UK, however, it was a different story, reaching the #1 position.
