The lyrics were written by Aaron Schroeder and Wally Aureate. The song was published by Elvis Presley's company Gladys Music, Inc.
In the late 1950s, while stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army, Presley heard Martin'due south recording. It is also likely that he was inspired to record this considering of his fondness for Mario Lanza who had first popularized "'O Sole Mio" to American audiences and who had died the year earlier "It's Now or Never" was recorded.[6] According to The New York Times, quoting from the 1986 volume Backside the Hits, "he told the idea to his music publisher, Freddy Bienstock, who was visiting him in Deutschland... Mr. Bienstock, who many times found songwriters for Presley, returned to his New York role, where he found songwriters, Mr. [Aaron] Schroeder and Wally Gilded, the simply people in that day. The two wrote lyrics in half an hour. Selling more than 5 million records, the song became number one in countries all around and was Presley's best selling single ever... a vocal [they] finished in 20 minutes to a one-half hour was the biggest song of [their] career."[vii]
Barry White credited this song as his inspiration for changing his life and condign a singer following his release from prison.[8]
In the promotional video for the Beatles' 1968 unmarried "Hey Jude," the members of the ring jokingly perform a few lines of the song.
