The story behind the song

"Silly Love Songs" is Paul McCartney's playful and heartfelt answer to critics who dismissed his songwriting as too light and sentimental. He turns the accusation on its head, embracing the idea of writing about love, asking "what's wrong with that" and wondering how else he could express his feelings for a loved one. The song, released in 1976 on the album Wings at the Speed of Sound, becomes a celebration of the very subject some found "soppy." It invites listeners to share in the joy of simple, honest affection.
