"Come On" was chosen as the Rolling Stones' debut single. Released in June 1963, it reached number 21 on the UK single charts. The B-side was the Stones' arrangement of Willie Dixon's "I Want to Be Loved". Both songs were recorded on May 10, 1963. Other songs recorded on that day were "Love Potion No. 9" (unverified) and "Pretty Thing". "Come On" has been released on several compilation albums: More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies) (1972), (1989) (together with its B-side), Singles 1963-1965 (2004) (together with its B-side), (2007), GRRR! (2012) and Stray Cats, a bonus disc available only on the Rolling Stones In Mono Box Set (together with its B-side).

During the June 6, 2013 concert in Toronto, Canada, as part of the 50 & Counting Tour, Mick Jagger sang a few bars (with Charlie Watts drumming the beat) after mentioning the single being released exactly 50 years ago, the day after that night.[2] It was the first time the song was heard in any capacity during a Rolling Stones concert since 1965.[1]
