When THE LYRICS published in 2021 to worldwide acclaim, it was heralded as a one-of-a-kind self-portrait of McCartney, earning Book of the Year by Barnes & Noble and Waterstones, and winning a British Book Award. With a personal foreword by McCartney and edited and introduced by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, THE LYRICS is the definitive literary chronicle of one of musical history's most enduring treasures.

With the exciting announcement of the remastered The Beatles’ 1962-1966 (‘The Red Album’) and 1967-1970 (‘The Blue Album’) coming November 10, THE LYRICS establishes definitive texts of McCartney’s songs for the first time and describes the circumstances in which they were written, the people and places that inspired them, and what Paul thinks of them now – including the final upcoming Beatles B-Side, “Love Me Do.”

Returning after its #1 New York Times bestselling run in hardcover, this updated version of THE LYRICS features additional commentaries on iconic songs spanning Paul McCartney's unparalleled musical career ready to accompany the resurgence of Beatlemania.
