Where Paul McCartney Got His Inspiration to Write 'Lady Madonna'

If you’re a Beatles fan who caught the One World: Together at Home special (Apr. 18, 2020), you got a treat. It came in the form of Paul McCartney performing “Lady Madonna,” the hit Fab Four single originally released in March 1968. (Paul dedicated his performance to healthcare workers everywhere.)

While Paul played a solo version of the track alone on an organ, you heard him deliver the classic lyrics about the woman with “baby at [her] breast” who “wonders how you manage to feed the rest.”

To many listeners, the title and references will have religious overtones. (Many fans heard the same in “Let It Be,” which Paul said he wrote about his own mother.) But Paul was thinking in more general terms when he wrote “Lady Madonna.”
