Paul McCartney's first single as a solo artist was the song Another Day. The song was released in 1971 with the writing credit going to Paul and Linda McCartney. The writing credit drew major controversy because the Beatles were involved in a lawsuit to disolve the group and all of their assets had been frozen. Many, including Sir Lew Grade who owned John and Paul's publishing rights until 1976, thought that Linda was being credited as cowriter to guarantee the McCartney's a share of the songwriting royalties. Paul denied this, and after a brief legal battle decided to disolve the McCartney/McCartney songwriting partnership.
John Lennon refers to this song negatively in his song How do you Sleep?
Another Day was backed by the song Oh Woman, Oh Why? Which was a bit of a different song for the normally reserved Paul.
Paul has performed Another Day at various points in his career.
