The story behind the song

This song is a tender dedication from Paul McCartney to his first wife, Linda. Written while they were living in Scotland, it served as a personal expression of love, in a way, a response to public declarations of affection by a fellow musician. It was the very first track recorded for his debut solo album, a brief and intimate piece created to test out a new recording setup. At its heart, it feels like a private, joyful moment captured and shared.
