Davy Jones’ "You've Got a Habit of Leaving" backed with "Baby Loves That Way", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK by Parlophone Records (catalog number R 5315) on August 20, 1965, with both songs being original compositions. The label of the record was only credited to Davy Jones, but he was accompanied by The Lower Third. Both tracks were produced by Shel Talmy, who had also worked with The Who and The Kinks.

Shel Talmy says of the record, "like most of the songs I recorded with him it was an original, marking the first time Bowie's compositions were made available to the record-buying public".
