Beatles fifth Album ''Help!, is the soundtrack album from their film of the same name, Help!.

Produced by George Martin for EMI Records, the album (in its original British form) contains seven songs that appeared in the movie of the same name, and seven that did not, including the most recorded song in history, the Paul McCartney ballad "Yesterday".

The critically acclaimed album also features two trans-atlantic number-one singles: "Ticket to Ride" and the title song. The album shows John Lennon being influenced by Bob Dylan and folk music, with Lennon's "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" in particular indicating an obvious Dylan influence. In later years Lennon said that the title track of the album was a sincere cry for help, as the pressures of the Beatles' fame and his own unhappiness (what he later called his fat Elvis stage) began to build, and that he regretted turning it from a downbeat Dylanesque song to an upbeat, poppy song because of commercial pressures.

McCartney contributed "Yesterday"; "Another Girl", a fast-moving congo-esque beat pop song; "The Night Before", a standard rock & roll song; and "I've Just Seen a Face", a rollicking Dylanesque folk song often overlooked by fans (and which, along with It's Only Love, appeared on the Rubber Soul album in the U.S.).

George Harrison contributed the low-key "I Need You" and the head-strong "You Like Me Too Much". These were Harrison's first song compositions to be included on a Beatles album since "Don't Bother Me", from 1963's With the Beatles.
