Song Facts
- Written by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership.
- Written in the music room in the basement of the house in Wimpole Street, London, which belonged to Jane Asher's parents. Asher was McCartney's girlfriend at the time, and the song is said to be inspired by her.
- Lyrics are simple and direct, expressing the simple joy of being in love.
- Originally recorded with a full electric lineup, but the Beatles were not happy with the sound. They re-recorded the song with an acoustic guitar and a string quartet, and this is the version that was released.
- One of the first Beatles songs to feature a string quartet. This was a departure from the band's usual rock and roll sound, and it helped to give the song a more sophisticated and romantic feel.
- A commercial success, reaching number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.
- Covered by many artists, and many of them as instrumentals: Pat Metheny (Instr), Harry Connick, Jr., Sangah Noona (Instr), John Farnham, Charlie Landsborough, Miloš Karadaglić (Instr), Amer M, José Feliciano (Instr), Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Mary Beth Carlson & Steve Hall (Instr), Joseph Sullinger (Instr), and many more.
- Kurt Cobain (frontman of the band Nirvana) released a cover of the song in 2015 and it peaked at No 2 on the Billboard US Hot Singles Sales, No 2 on the UK Physical Singles Sales, and reached No 1 on the UK Vinyl Singles Chart.
