It was written by Paul McCartney{{sfn|Miles|1997|p=200}}{{sfn|Sheff|2000|p=195}} (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and features McCartney on vocals. The song appeared on their 1965 United Kingdom album Help! and in the United States on the Capitol Records version of the Rubber Soul album. The song was recorded by the Beatles on 14 June 1965 at EMI Studios in London in the same session as "Yesterday" and "I'm Down".{{sfn|Lewisohn|1988|p=59}} CompositionBefore its recording, the song was briefly titled "Auntie Gin's Theme" after McCartney's father's youngest sister, because it was one of her favourites.{{sfn|Harry|2000|p=559}}{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=155}} It is one of very few Beatles songs that lacks a bass track.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} McCartney has stated, "It was slightly country and western from my point of view... it was faster, though, it was a strange uptempo thing. I was quite pleased with it. The lyric works; it keeps dragging you forward, it keeps pulling you to the next line, there's an insistent quality to it that I liked."[2] Its lyrics sound effortless and conversational, but they also contain a complex sequence of cascading rhymes ("I have never known/The like of this/I've been alone/And I have missed") that is responsible for the song's irresistible propulsion.[3] According to music critic Richie Unterberger of allmusic, "Several songs on 1964's Beatles for Sale, as well as "I'll Cry Instead" from A Hard Day's Night, had leaned in a country and western direction. But 'I've Just Seen a Face' was almost pure country, taken at such a fast tempo that it might have been bluegrass if not for the absence of banjo and fiddle."[1] Music critic Ian MacDonald said the up tempo song "lifted the later stages of the Help! album with its quickfire freshness."{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=156}} Capitol Records chose it as the lead track for the US edition of Rubber Soul with the intent of giving the album a stronger acoustic feel, in step with the then-current folk-rock movement.[2] Personnel

It was one of only five Beatles numbers performed on his Wings Over America Tour in 1976. It was most recently played on his 2013-15 Out There tour. Post-Beatles live versions appear on the 1976 album Wings over America, on the 1991 album Unplugged (The Official Bootleg) and on the 2005 DVD Paul McCartney in Red Square. McCartney played a snippet of the song, with Paul Simon, during the opening monologue sequence of the 2015 Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special.[4] Cover versions{{Unreferenced section|date=June 2018}}
