Background
"Mother Nature's Son" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles. The song was written primarily by Paul McCartney, and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was inspired by a lecture given by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi while the Beatles were in India. The same lecture inspired Lennon's song "Child of Nature", the tune that he later re-used for "Jealous Guy". Although credited to the group, the song was performed by McCartney alone, while the other Beatles were working on other songs.
