‘About You’ is the tenth song on Paul McCartney’s 2001 album Driving Rain.

McCartney wrote ‘About You’ in Goa in January 2001, while on vacation with Heather Mills. It was McCartney’s first visit to India since the 1960s. While there he also wrote ‘Lonely Road’ and ‘I Do’. See more…

We had such a relaxing start to an Indian holiday which was at the beginning of 2001. It was exciting, I hadn’t been back to India since the Mararishi days, which was 25 years or so ago. It was great to look around a bit more; I’d only seen Rishikesh, north of Delhi, before. We started off in Goa, relaxed beach time, and one afternoon I wrote ‘About You’ on a little travel guitar I’ve got which has it’s own amp in it. I picked some words out for the song after seeing a copy of The India Times which was lying around.
