A press release for the album and single describes the music as an introspective look back for McCartney regarding his childhood in Liverpool and his days before the Beatles had taken off as the biggest band in the world. The album will come out May 29.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn a statement, McCartney called \u201cDays We Left Behind\u201d \u201ca memory song for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cThe album title, <em>The Boys of Dungeon Lane<\/em>, comes from a lyric in this track,\u201d McCartney said. \u201cI was thinking just that, about the days I left behind and I do often wonder if I\u2019m just writing about the past but then I think how can you write about anything else? It\u2019s just a lot of memories of Liverpool.\u00a0It involves a bit in the middle about John and Forthlin Road which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there.\u00a0I used to live in a place called Speke which is quite working class.\u00a0We didn\u2019t have much at all but it didn\u2019t matter because all the people were great and you didn\u2019t notice you didn\u2019t have much.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Paul McCartney - Days We Left Behind (Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2n1IhyF6R0U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tPer the release, the album is five years in the making, coming after McCartney spoke with producer Andrew Watt over tea. McCartney was fiddling around on a guitar and played a chord he didn\u2019t recognize, and after figuring it out, Watt suggested recording it, which gave way to the album\u2019s lead track \u201cAs You Lie There.\u201d He recorded the album between his touring schedule over the ensuing years between L.A. and Sussex. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tMcCartney announced the album one day before the superstar will play a pair of intimate shows at the Fonda Theatre in L.A. on Friday and Saturday, his first shows of 2026 after concluding <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/music\/music-news\/paul-mccartney-get-back-concert-review-pride-flag-johnny-depp-1236387743\/\">his Got Back tour <\/a>in Chicago last year.
