The story behind the song

"I Will" is a tender love song, born from a period of reflection in Rishikesh, India. Though the melody came together with ease, the lyrics were carefully crafted, evolving from an initial "moon" theme to "very simple words, straight love-song words." Paul McCartney considered it one of his favorite melodies, feeling it was a "complete tune." At its heart, it's a sweet, earnest declaration of enduring affection.
