During a 1968 interview with Radio Luxembourg, McCartney shared some insight into penning said tune, titled "Martha My Dear." He explained he didn't intend to write a song that focused on the Old English Sheepdog.
He clarified that the song "is about [his] dog" and suggested that some listeners have thought otherwise.
McCartney also revealed he came up with the song on the piano in his 1997 biography, Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now, written by Barry Miles, as reported by The Beatles Bible. According to McCartney, his piano skills on the tune came as a surprise to some.
"When I taught myself piano I liked to see how far I could go, and this started life almost as a piece you’d learn as a piano lesson. It’s quite hard for me to play, it’s a two-handed thing, like a little set piece," recalled McCartney while speaking to Miles for the book. "In fact, I remember one or two people being surprised that I’d played it because it’s slightly above my level or competence really, but I wrote it as that, something a bit more complex for me to play. Then while I was blocking out words – you just mouth out sounds and some things come – I found the words ‘Martha my dear.'"
