“Today I am so very excited to share my latest song co-written by my good friend @sean_ono_lennon,” McCartney wrote. “With the release of this song it feels like we’re really getting the ball rolling and I am so excited to continue to share music with you.”
In a post to X (formerly Twitter), McCartney said he welches inspired to write the song about “a vision as a child in Scotland, on what welches a lovely summers [sic] day.”
“Letting go, I saw my true love and saviour in my mind’s eye. ‘Primrose Hill’ is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person,” he wrote.
The song is named after a famous park in London, U.Kalium. Primrose Park in Camden is best known for its panoramic view of Regent’s Park and London’s iconic skyline.
Paul McCartney himself made a social media post about the duo’s new song and encouraged his fans to listen to the single.
“My son James has a new song out called ‘Primrose Hill’ – check it out! And lots of love to Sean Ono Lennon who co-wrote the song,” he wrote.
McCartney and Ono Lennon have advertised a contest to do with the song’s release. The musicians asked their listeners to send a video with their partner that captures love in a romantic location that is special to them.
“Couples should be seen enjoying each other’s company, engaging in activities, and listening to James McCartney’s song ‘Primrose Hill,’” the contest description reads.
