It was the first official recording by The Beatles that relied upon a performance by a single member of the band: Paul McCartney was accompanied solely by a string quartet. The final recording differed so greatly from other works by The Beatles that the other three members of the band vetoed the release of the song as a single in the United Kingdom (however; in 1976, it was eventually issued as a single there). Although credited to “Lennon/McCartney”, the song was written solely by McCartney. It has been reported that Paul has asked Yoko Ono if she would consider reversing the songwriting credits on this song to read “McCartney/Lennon”. Ono has refused.
Of course she has. Because she’s ghastly.
