Paul McCartney said bandmate George Harrison and The Beatles‘ producer, George Martin, brought something interesting to his song, “And I Love Her.” They made it more “musical.”

During The Beatles’ early career, their manager, Brian Epstein, arranged for them to move to London, where the music business was, and live in an apartment in Mayfair. London was experiencing a massive redevelopment after World War II, and it was an exciting place to be. However, for Paul, that excitement didn’t extend to their living arrangements.

In The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, Paul wrote he moved in with then-girlfriend Jane Asher and her family in their posh Marylebone home because the apartment Epstein picked “had no soul,” unlike the home where he grew up.

Paul met Asher in the spring of 1963 when she interviewed The Beatles for the Radio Times at the Royal Albert Hall.

He wrote, “She and I started dating shortly afterwards, and towards the end of the year the Ashers must have heard me grumbling about Mayfair and said, ‘Well, do you want to stay here?’ This gesture was in the long tradition of giving a garret room to a starving artist. So, I had a little room up at the top, next to Jane’s brother Peter’s room.”
