Tell Me What You See is een van de minder bekende nummers van The Beatles.[3] Mogelijk komt doordat het nummer als "opvulling" voor het nieuwe album diende.[2] Vaak waren dit nummers waarvoor Lennon en McCartney minder inspiratie hadden en waarvoor ze dus meer werk moesten verzetten om er een goed lied van te maken.[4] Volgens McCartney was dit bij Tell Me What You See ook het geval.[2] Het nummer werd voor een groot deel door McCartney geschreven, maar hij kreeg hierbij ook hulp van Lennon.
In februari 1965 begonnen The Beatles aan de opnamen van hun tweede speelfilm Help!.[5] Tell Me What You See werd daarbij door The Beatles voorgesteld als een mogelijk geschikt nummer voor de soundtrack van de film. Het nummer werd echter niet gekozen door regisseur Richard Lester.[6][7]
Tell Me What You See werd in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 6 augustus 1965 uitgebracht op het album Help!.[1] Het nummer werd in de Verenigde Staten door platenmaatschappij Capitol echter niet uitgebracht op Help!, maar werd al eerder, op 14 juni 1965, uitgebracht op het album Beatles VI.[8] Deze werkwijze van Capitol irriteerde The Beatles enigszins, aangezien zij hun albums als complete eenheden zagen. Door Capitols werkwijze ging dit idee verloren.[9]
