Writing


Lennon began writing "Look at Me" in India in 1968, during the extended sessions for the Beatles' self-titled double album, also known as "the White Album". He then shelved the song until 1970, when he recorded it for his debut solo album.[1] A different recording of the song was later released on the John Lennon Anthology and the compilation album Acoustic.[1]

The pattern of the song is fairly prominent throughout the track. It was built from a finger-picking technique that Lennon used on songs such as "Dear Prudence", "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" and "Julia", all of which appear on the White Album.[1] Lennon learned this finger-picking guitar style (known as Travis-picking) from the Scottish musician Donovan, who was with the Beatles at the time at Rishikesh, India.[2]


Recording


Recorded at EMI Studios on 7 October 1970,[3] the album version of "Look at Me" features double-tracked vocals by Lennon.[1]
