Its title derived from Wilson's fascination with cosmic vibrations, after his mother once told him as a child that dogs sometimes bark at people in response to their "bad vibrations". Most of the song was developed as it was recorded. It was considered for the Smile project, but instead appeared on the album Smiley Smile (1967). Initiated during the sessions for the album Pet Sounds (1966), it was not taken from or issued as a lead single for an album, but rather as a stand-alone single, with the Pet Sounds instrumental "Let's Go Away For Awhile" as a B-side. Characterized for its complex soundscapes, intricate harmonies, and exotic instrumentation, "Good Vibrations" later became widely acknowledged as one of the greatest masterpieces of rock music. Released as a single in October 1966, it was an immediate critical and commercial hit, topping record charts in several countries including the US and UK. "Good Vibrations" is a song composed and produced by Brian Wilson with words by Mike Love for the American rock band the Beach Boys.
