The story behind the song

"Misery" captures a feeling of adolescent self-pity, painting a droll portrait of heartbreak. The song was originally started backstage and completed at Paul McCartney's home with the intention of being offered to Helen Shapiro, a successful female singer at the time, for a country and western album. Though it wasn't used by her, it later found its place on The Beatles' debut album, Please Please Me. It plays like a wry take on the pain of a lost love, delivered with a surprising energy despite its title.
