The album is the follow-up to the band's 1963 release "Surfer Girl" and includes a mix of car-themed tracks and other themes that reflect the band's early rock and surf style. Notably, it features the hit single "Fun, Fun, Fun," which reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Another notable track is "Don't Worry Baby," a song that has been highly regarded for its sophisticated production and harmony.

The album also includes "The Warmth of the Sun," a poignant ballad written in the wake of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, and "Keep an Eye on Summer." The majority of the tracks were written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, and the album showcases the band's evolving sound and growing complexity in their musical arrangements.
