Beatles - Paperback WriterTry our new player

"Paperback Writer" is a song written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon and released by The Beatles on the A side of their eleventh single. It went to the number one spot in Britain, the United States, West Germany, and Australia. This was the first Beatles single that was not a love song (though "Nowhere Man" was their first album song released with that distinction). On the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, "Paperback Writer"'s two-week stay at number one was interrupted by Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night".

"Paperback Writer" was one of the last new Beatles songs to be featured in concert, as it was included on their 1966 tour.
