The Waterboys recorded the song after Anthony Thistlethwaite attended a Ray Charles concert and fell in love with the song. The B-side, " Come Live with Me", is a cover of the Felice and Boudleaux Bryant-penned song. A special sleeve was designed for the single's release in Ireland. "How Long Will I Love You?" was given a single release in Ireland and certain European countries, but not the UK or US.
