From "Hey Jude" to "Live and Let Die," we've got you covered with our definitive guide to every song written and performed by Paul McCartney.
- "I Saw Her Standing There" (1963) Though it was not the first song written by McCartney as a member of the Beatles, "I Saw Her Standing There" was one of the first classic hits to be primarily authored and composed by him.
- "Can't Buy Me Love" (1964) Just before the Beatles made their historic appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on the evening of Feb. 9, 1964, McCartney wrote this classic hit song on an upright piano while the group was staying in the five-star George V hotel in Paris, France.
- "And I Love Her" (1964) "And I Love Her" was not just a classic song penned by McCartney, it is one of the most beautiful songs to ever be composed. Though his bandmates would make some contributions to it, with Lennon supplying a few lyrics, George Harrison adding the signature acoustic guitar riffs, and Starr playing the bongos, each of them would acknowledge that, from its inception, "And I Love Her" was primarily driven by McCartney.
- "Yesterday" (1965) Perhaps one of the greatest songs ever written in the history of popular music was named "Scrambled Eggs" at one point during its creation.
- 'I Will' McCartney said recently that this White Album track is “still one of my favorites of the melodies I’ve written.” Listen to what the man said — he has good taste.
- 'She Loves You' The rare pop song from the point of view of a love broker. McCartney (then at the peak of his direct collaborating with John Lennon, in 1964) says he may have been influenced to write from the point of view of “a middleman, an agent, a go-between” by being aware of, if not having read, the novel “The Go-Between” at the time.
- 'That Was Me' McCartney was at his most lyrically backward-looking on 2008’s “Memory Almost Full.” The peak of that was “That Was Me,” a song that treats nostalgia as a romp, not something to get too bittersweet about.
- 'Martha My Dear' Find yourself a partner who looks at you the way Paul McCartney looks at (and writes about) his English sheepdog. “At the time, almost no one listening to the song knew that Martha was a dog,” McCartney says in the “Lyrics” book.
Paul McCartney has 4524 songs with the most popular being Yesterday, White Ferrari and Let It Be.
