Soon after its release, netizens took to social media to point out how closely they resemble their legendary fathers, both vocally and physically.
McCartney opened up about the new song in a post on Instagram: “I had a vision as a child in Scotland, on what was a lovely summer’s day. Letting go, I saw my true love and saviour in my mind’s eye. Primrose Hill is about getting the ball rolling with me and finding this person.” He said the song was co-written by his “good friend” Sean Ono Lennon.

Here’s what we know about Sean Ono Lennon.
Sean Ono Lennon has famous parents
Sean Taro Ono Lennon, 48, was born in New York to his parents John Lennon, from The Beatles, and his wife Yoko Ono, a Japanese multimedia artist and singer. In a mum-son interview with Harper’s Bazaar in 2017, Sean spoke up about the grief that they went through after losing John in 1980.
“We’d gone through the loss of my father together, so I witnessed her struggle, and then I saw her turn that struggle into art literally within a few months,” he told the publication. “I realised that art was a way of processing and understanding your experience.”
His dad wrote a song about him
According to reports, John’s 1980 song “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)” was inspired by his son, Sean. However, in an interview with AP, Sean said the song “makes me feel like I’m infantilised or something”.
