“WAIT” Fun facts

“Wait” was written specifically for the film Help!. Paul McCartney recalls British child actor Brandon de Wilde being present while he was composing it, comparing him to a “Brat Pack” actor.

This is one of those songs of the Beatle canon with discrepancy as to authorship. It’s known today to be credited to Lennon and McCarthy, but in his book Many Years from Now, McCartney credits the song entirely to himself, while another music publication of the time credits it entirely to Lennon.

This is one of the few songs to have John and Paul alternating sole vocal roles. Usually either they sang in harmony, or one or the other took lead vocal duties. It’s just one more thing that makes “Wait” unique.
