The story behind the song

"That Means a Lot" is a ballad primarily written by Paul McCartney, credited to Lennon–McCartney. The Beatles recorded a version for the Help! film and soundtrack, but they were dissatisfied with their own performance, feeling they "made a hash of it" and that the song wasn't quite finished. They believed someone else could do it better, and their version remained unreleased until much later. The song carries the weight of a piece the writers themselves felt they couldn't quite capture, lending it a poignant, almost elusive quality.
