McCartney shared: “I remember writing this song while waiting for John one day. I would go out to his house for a writing session, and he wasn't always up. So I would often have 20 minutes, half an hour while someone told him I was here, and he would get up.
“I remember sitting out by his swimming pool in his house in Weybridge, which is a golf suburb of London. I had my guitar because I was ready for the writing session. So we sat out and started something.. it just went quite nice and smoothly.
“So by the time I came to write with John, by the time he deemed to get up and have his coffee, I would have something to go on.”
