“Days We Left Behind” is the new lead single for Paul McCartney’s 18th solo studio album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane (set for release May 29, 2026). The song was born from a chance meeting five years ago between Paul and producer Andrew Watt. During a tea break, Paul played a chord he didn’t recognize, and that “mysterious chord” eventually became the foundation for this project. Yes, it might seem odd that one of the greatest songwriters in history wouldn’t recognize a chord he’d just played, but it’s actually a classic “McCartneyism.” Paul often describes his songwriting process as a bit of a “seance” where he discovers sounds by accident.
