Background


McCartney described the song as a children's sing-along with the title phrase inspired by the music hall tradition of asking the audience to join in.[2] He also described a "subcurrent" in the song, a dual-meaning where "we are all together now.”[2] According to music critic Tom Maginnis of AllMusic, McCartney created the song "to match the same light-hearted spirit" of "Yellow Submarine".[5]


Recording


The track was recorded on 12 May 1967 at EMI Studios and mixed the same day, but was not released until 13 January 1969, when it appeared on the soundtrack album.[4] George Martin was absent from this session, leaving recording engineer Geoff Emerick in charge of the control room.[6] The song took less than six hours to record and was recorded in nine takes, the last of which was selected for overdubs.[6]


Personnel


Personnel according to Ian MacDonald[4]
