About "God Only Knows": Brian Wilson wrote "God Only Knows" with Tony Asher, an advertising copyrighter and lyricist Wilson worked with on songs for the Pet Sounds album. Asher came up with the title, but the song reflects Wilson's interest in spirituality. It was a big departure from previous Beach Boys songs that dealt with girls, cars and surfing.
"It came from God through me," Wilson told Steve Baltin in the book Anthems We Love. "I was 24 when I wrote 'God Only Knows' and the rest of Pet Sounds. All I know is I wrote what was in my heart. And the lyrics and the music just connect with people."
