Hey Jude

"Hey Jude" by The Beatles is a classic rock ballad in the key of F major, composed primarily by Paul McCartney with contributions from John Lennon. Released in 1968 as a single, the song became one of the band's most famous and enduring hits. Its history is steeped in legend, with the titular character, "Jude," initially inspired by Lennon's son Julian during his parents' divorce. McCartney later changed it to "Jude" for a more universal appeal. The song's extended coda, featuring repeated "na-na-na" refrains, is particularly iconic, serving as a communal sing-along moment in live performances. McCartney's soulful vocals, accompanied by stirring piano and guitar arrangements, create a poignant and uplifting atmosphere, making "Hey Jude" a timeless anthem loved by generations of music fans.
