John Lennon Wrote 1 Song From The Beatles' 'Let It Be' as a Teen

John Lennon co-wrote a song from The Beatles’ before the band was famous.
Paul McCartney said the song wasn’t as good as “Love Me Do.”
John said a number in the song’s title had a special meaning to him.

John Lennon wrote one of the songs from The Beatles‘ Let It Be as a teenager with help from Paul McCartney. Paul said it was better than some of their earlier compositions. In addition, John revealed the significance of the song’s title.

In the 1997 book Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now, Paul recalled the evolution of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership. “So we just developed the art, gradually, gaining in confidence,” he said. “So we did this every so often through a number of months.

“We did ‘Just Fun,’ ‘In Spite of All the Danger,’ which I’d written more fully so John didn’t have much of a look-in there,” he said. “I did a very bad song called ‘Like Dreamers Do’ which The Applejacks did later. ‘One After 909’ was getting a little bit better, then came ‘Love Me Do,’ which was the culmination of it when we finally got a song we could actually record.” Paul said “One After 909” wasn’t great even though he had a soft spot for it.
