"God Only Knows" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1966 album Pet Sounds. Written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher , it is a baroque -style love song distinguished for its harmonic innovation and complexity, unusual instrumentation, and subversion of typical popular music conventions, both lyrically and musically.

The German version was first released on the 1983 album Rarities , and later as a bonus track on the 1990 and 2001 CD re-releases of the Surfer Girl album.
