The instrumental and vocal track was recorded under the production of Brian Wilson on October 27, 1967. Initially Wilson had planned to give this song and “Time to Get Alone” to Three Dog Night, then called “Redwood”, as Danny Hutton was a friend of Wilson. Hutton laid claim to inspiring the title for “Darlin'”, it being frequent in his vocabulary at the time. Redwood only got as far as recording a guide vocal before Mike Love insisted that Brian focus his attention on producing work for the Beach Boys. Accompanied by piano, bass, tambourine, strings, and horns, Carl Wilson sings lead vocals.
