The Beatles have released their long-awaited “final song” entitled “Now And Then”. The song, which took 45 years to complete, features all four Beatles and will be the last credited to Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Starr. It has been released as a double A-side single with their debut song “Love Me Do”. The song had its first play on BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music and is now available on streaming platforms, with physical copies to follow. It will also be included on the newly remastered Beatles’ greatest hits albums. The song was originally written by John Lennon in 1978 and was completed last year by McCartney and Starr with the addition of George Harrison’s rhythm guitar parts from 1995. The recording quality was enhanced using artificial intelligence technology. Critics have praised the song as an “affecting tribute” to the band’s bond. A music video for the song has also been released, featuring previously unseen footage of the band.
