"And I Love Her" is a vocal recorded by English rock band the Beatles, written primarily by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. It is the fifth track of their third U.k. album A Difficult Twenty-four hours's Night and was released 20 July 1964, forth with "If I Roughshod", as a single release by Capitol Records in the Usa, reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Beatles performed "And I Love Her" just once outside EMI Studios; on xiv July 1964 they played information technology for an edition of the BBC'southward Peak Gear radio prove, which was broadcast two days afterwards.[ane] "And I Love Her" has been covered by a diversity of artists, including Esther Phillips, Kurt Cobain and Cliff Richard.
Composition [edit]
A bulk of the composition shifts back and along between the central of E and its relative minor C#1000. It also changes keys altogether merely before the solo, to F. The final chord is a D major. This technique of ending is known as Picardy third resolution.[2]
McCartney called "And I Honey Her" "the first carol I impressed myself with". Lennon chosen it McCartney's "first 'Yesterday'".[3] Though the song was written mainly by McCartney, John Lennon claimed in an interview with Playboy that his major contribution was the middle eight department ("A honey like ours/Could never die/Equally long as I/Take you near me").[4]
Beatles publisher Dick James lends support to this claim, saying that the middle eight was added during recording at the suggestion of producer George Martin (an early accept of the song was released on Anthology i in 1995, and the middle eight had not yet been added). According to James, Lennon called for a break and "within half an hour [Lennon and McCartney] wrote ... a very effective middle to a very commercial song."[5] McCartney, on the other hand, maintains that "the middle eight is mine ... I wrote this on my ain. I would say that John probably helped with the middle viii, but he tin't say 'Information technology'due south mine'."[5] McCartney has credited George Harrison with composing the signature guitar riff, proverb it "made a stunning difference to the vocal".[half dozen]
"The 'And' in the title was an important thing – 'And I Beloved Her,' it came right out of left field, you were right up to speed the infinitesimal you heard it," McCartney said. "The title comes in the second verse and it doesn't repeat. You would ofttimes get to town on the title, but this was nigh an aside: 'Oh ... and I dearest y'all.'"[3]
Cash Box described the song as an "extremely pretty, soft vanquish cha cha opus" that the Beatles "wax in soft and tender way."[7]
An instrumental version of "And I Dearest Her", orchestrated by George Martin, was released equally a unmarried with "Ringo's Theme (This Male child)" every bit the B-side on 18 July 1964. It failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 105, while "Ringo's Theme (This Male child)" peaked at number 53 later that twelvemonth. "And I Beloved Her" was included on Martin'southward Parlophone album Off the Beatle Rail and the EP Music From A Hard Day's Night by the George Martin Orchestra, released on 19 February 1965.

Every bit with many Beatles songs, this has been covered by many artists of varying fashion from R&B, crooner, pop, like shooting fish in a barrel listening and even grunge. Notably, Esther Phillips reversed the gender of the song in 1965; her "And I Love Him" reached No. 54 that year on the Billboard charts. A gender-reversed version by the American singer Julie London was included on her concluding studio album Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, released in 1969. In 1970 the version of Helen Merrill inserted in the anthology Helen Merrill Sings Beatles (Victor, SMJX − 10092) released in Japan and South Korea.

That adaptation appears on Have Yourself a Merry Fiddling Christmas, released in 1998. Cliff Richard covered the song on his 2001 album Wanted.
An instrumental embrace past Santo & Johnny topped the Mexican charts in 1965. Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau included an extended instrumental trio version on his 2016 album Dejection and Ballads, which an AllMusic review describes every bit "transfiguring the small-scale/major-cardinal centers into something sweeping and operatic."[18]
