Though The Beatles are a British rock band, “Eight Days A Week” was not marketed as a single in the U.K. Regardless, the March of that year brought enormous success to the band from Liverpool, and the group was in the midst of working on their second movie titled Help!. “Eight Days A Week” lived in the top spot on the Hot 100 for two weeks before exiting the No. 1 position, but Beatlemania was at its height, and the timing also marked what was known as The British Invasion in the US.
With credits going to the McCartney-Lennon mastery, “Eight Days A Week” finds the band singing about needing loving affection from a romantic partner for the entire week, plus one more day. From a sonic standpoint, the instrumentals are simple with an effervescent tempo and each band member playing their respective instruments.
The Inspiration Behind the Song
“[T]he chauffeur drove me out that day, and I said, ‘How’ve you been?’ … ‘Oh, working hard,’ he said, ‘working eight days a week,’” McCartney said. “I had never heard anyone use that expression, so when I arrived at John’s house, I said,‘Hey, this fella just said, “eight days a week”.’ John said, ‘Right … Ooh I need your love, babe,’ and we wrote it.”
