The track was recorded for Double Fantasy with John Lennon, Yoko Ono and producer Jack Douglas. The album sessions took place in 1980 at the Hit Factory in New York with musicians including Earl Slick, Hugh McCracken, Tony Levin, George Small and Andy Newmark. Released as a single in 1981 after Lennon death, it became one of the central songs from Double Fantasy. The single reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the UK Singles Chart.
