The debut solo single released by British singer Dusty Springfield under her long - time producer Johnny Franz, `` I Only Want to Be with You '' peaked at number 4 on the UK Singles chart in January 1964. Three remakes of the song have been UK chart hits, the first two by the Bay City Rollers ( 1976 ) and the Tourists ( 1979 ) matching the number 4 peak of the Dusty Springfield original, while the 1989 remake by Samantha Fox peaked at number 16. In the US on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, `` I Only Want to Be with You '' has been a Top 40 hit three times, with both the Dusty Springfield original and the Bay City Rollers ' remake peaking at number 12 while the Samantha Fox remake peaked at number 31. `` I Only Want to Be with You '' has also been recorded by a wide range of artists, several of whom sing the song with lyrics translated from the original English.

Ryder, who would later be a member of the Breakaways, had been a member of a vocal chorale, the Vernons Girls. Reportedly, she and Hawker had intended that she herself would record `` I Only Want to Be With You ''. However, no formal arrangement for this eventuality had apparently been made by the autumn of 1963, when Hawker received a phone call from Philips A&R director Johnny Franz. Ryder paraphrases Franz as saying `` Look we need something which is going to put this girl into the charts, because everybody is knocking her, everybody is saying she 'll never make it ( solo ) - have you got a song that 's a guaranteed hit ? '' Springfield had already recorded nine solo tracks, none of which was deemed the right vehicle to launch her solo career. With Ryder 's permission, Hawker submitted `` I Only Want to Be With You '' to Franz, having made a demo featuring Ryder singing while keeping the beat by tapping on a biscuit tin lid. Franz, and then Springfield, approved the song, which Springfield recorded in a 25 October 1963 session at Olympic Studios, arranged and conducted by Ivor Raymonde, and recorded by engineer Keith Grant. Jean Ryder was included in the vocal chorale on the session. For unknown reasons, a version with ( Dusty 's ) unadulterated vocals was rejected. Released in November 1963, three weeks after the Springfields ' final concert, `` I Only Want to Be With You '' was a global success, reaching number 4 UK, number 12 US, number 6 Australia, and number 21 Canada. In the US, Dusty Springfield was the second artist of the British Invasion, after the Beatles, to have a hit, entering the Billboard chart at number 77 in the last week of January 1964 ( the Beatles having `` She Loves You '' at number 69 and `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' at number 3 ). Raymonde 's arrangement is unmistakable, with its relentless `` ticker - ticker '' beat and cascading drum rolls, full - on choirs and `` Tower of Power '' horn section pitched against soaring rock strings. It set the production standard for Springfield 's later hits, such as `` Stay Awhile '' and `` Little by Little ''. Springfield also recorded the song with an almost identical arrangement in German, with the title `` Auf dich nur wart ' ich immerzu ''. The song was performed by Springfield on the first - ever edition of the BBC 's Top of the Pops, on 1 January 1964. The song was re-released in 1988, coinciding with its use in a soft - drink commercial, as a 7 '' & 12 '' single ( see cover in infobox ). It peaked at number 83 in the UK. It also was featured as the theme song for the comedy series Arliss, which ran on HBO from 1996 to 2002. In 2018, the song was used as the outro for the `` Woman 's Work '' episode of The Handmaid 's Tale, as sung by Madeline Brewer in character as `` Janine.

Dedication was the first Bay City Rollers recorded under the auspices of Arista Records, and it was Arista president Clive Davis who suggested that the group remake `` I Only Want to Be with You. '' Jimmy Ienner was chosen by Davis to produce the Bay City Rollers on the basis of Ienner 's work with the Raspberries. In the US `` I Only Want to Be with You '' was issued as advance single from Dedication in August 1976 : that October the track reached a Billboard Hot 100 peak of number 12, besting the number 28 peak of the precedent Bay City Rollers ' single `` Rock and Roll Love Letter '' while failing to match the Top Ten success the group had enjoyed in 1975 - 1976 with `` Saturday Night '' and in 1976 with `` Money Honey ''. `` I Only Want to Be with You '' appeared to wrap up the group 's burst of North American stardom as their next three US single releases were Top 40 shortfalls : however the group 's fourth US single release subsequent to `` I Only Want to Be With You '' : `` You Made Me Believe in Magic '', did afford the group a final Top Ten hit. Issued in the UK as a non-album single on 3 September 1976, `` I Only Wanna Be with You '' - so entitled - reached number 4 UK, affording the Bay City Rollers ' a tenth and final Top Ten hit. It 's noteworthy that the US and UK chart peaks of the Bay City Rollers ' 1976 remake of `` I Only Want to Be with You '' exactly match the US and UK chart peaks achieved in 1964 by the Dusty Springfield original. However the Springfield original version had had a significantly stronger UK chart run holding at number 4 for 4 weeks - as opposed to the Bay City Rollers remake 's one week chart peak - with the original 's Top 50 tenure of 18 weeks being twice as long as the remake 's. Conversely in the US the Bay City Rollers ' remake had a Billboard Hot 100 tenure of 15 weeks while the Springfield original had maintained a Hot 100 presence for 10 weeks in total. ( Comparisons between the chart impact of singles issued in distinct time periods should be considered imprecise, the methodology behind both the UK and US chart rankings having been frequently revised. ) Chart performance Weekly charts Chart ( 1976 ) Peak position Australia 8 Austrian Singles Chart 17 Belgian Singles Chart ( Flanders ) 14 Canada RPM Top Singles Canada RPM Adult Contemporary 28 Dutch Singles Chart 9 German Singles Chart 9 Irish Singles Chart Italian Singles Chart 5 New Zealand Singles Chart 12 UK Singles Chart US Billboard Hot 100 12 US Billboard Adult Contemporary 27 US Cash Box Top 100 8 Year - end charts Chart ( 1976 ) Rank Australia 58 Canada 82 Netherlands 80 New Zealand 49 UK 49 The Tourists version `` I Only Wanna Be with You '' Single by The Tourists from the album Reality Effect Released November 1979 Genre Pop Label Logo Songwriter ( s ) Mike Hawker, Ivor Raymonde Tourists singles chronology `` The Lonliest Man in the World '' ( 1979 ) `` I Only Wanna Be with You '' ( 1979 ) `` So Good to Be Back Home Again '' ( 1980 ) `` The Lonliest Man in the World '' ( 1979 ) `` I Only Wanna Be with You '' ( 1979 ) `` So Good to Be Back Home Again '' ( 1980 ) Background In 1979, the song was also covered by The Tourists, a band which included Annie Lennox on vocals.
