McCartney explained that this is about an incident that occurred in 1968 during the recording of The White Album. At that time, Lennon and Ono had just started a relationship, which is why the band leader constantly took the artist to rehearsals. This irritated the other participants.

“It was an intervention,” McCartney said. — The four of us worked with producer George Martin. Everything was fine with us. So, without being particularly confrontational, we just held back.”
According to him, the members of The Beatles had to accept and tolerate the presence of It, since it was impossible to resist it.

“The idea was that if John wanted this to happen, there was no reason not to,” Paul McCartney explained.
