Overview
- Paul McCartney released the lead single Days We Left Behind and set his 18th solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, for May 29, 2026.
- The song looks back on his early life with specific Liverpool markers such as Forthlin Road and a clear reference to John Lennon.
- The recording is a quiet piano-and-acoustic ballad with no drums, and McCartney plays almost every part.
- The album developed over five years after he teamed with producer Andrew Watt, starting with an idea that became the track As You Lie There.
- The 14-track set is previewed as ranging from Wings-style rock to Beatles-like harmonies, and its title comes from a lyric about Dungeon Lane in Speke.
