“You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” was written and sung by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and released on the album Help! in August 1965.
Lennon’s vocal style was inspired by the American singer Bob Dylan. Lennon wrote the song at home during what he called his “Dylan period”, wanting another song for the film Help!.[1] The song “is just basically John doing Dylan”, Paul McCartney confirmed.
