This Iconic Beatles Anthem Turns 57—Learn the Story Behind the Song
The legendary track's little-known backstory is truly touching.
It’s hard to believe this iconic Beatles song isn’t quite 60 years old yet, because it seems like we’ve been singing it since the dawn of time. The legendary anthem “Hey Jude” was released on this day, August 26, an incredible 57 years ago in 1968 — and the story behind the classic track still resonates today.
As for the story behind the beloved anthem, it’s a really sweet and touching one that still means a lot to this day. McCartney was inspired to write the song following Lennon’s separation from his then-wife Cynthia Lennon. Lennon left his wife for Japanese artist Yoko Ono, which left a lasting impression on his and Cynthia’s son, Julian Lennon.
McCartney went to visit the mother and her son in the wake of the split, as Cynthia was previously part of their overarching friend group in Liverpool, England before the band became famous and thus they had a history. The musician wrote a song for Julian on the ride to their home, which was called, in this first iteration, “Hey Jules.”
The song was meant to comfort Lennon's son in the uncertain time, and to encourage him to find his own way in love.
Here’s to another 57 years of Jude taking a sad song and making it better.

Saw a clip that only 12 known survivors are left, & this will be the first year none will be able to attend the ceremony. We visited Pearl Harbor about 7 yrs ago, really can’t describe the feeling I had thinking about what took place on the same ground where we were standing.
