She's Leaving Home

"She's Leaving Home" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, released on their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It tells the story of a teenager running away from home due to feeling stifled by the well-meaning but overprotective care of her parents, who are confused and devastated upon learning of her departure. Paul McCartney wrote and sang the verse and John Lennon wrote the chorus, which they sang together. Neither George Harrison nor Ringo Starr were involved in the track's recording. The song's backing track was performed by a string orchestra under the arrangement of Mike Leander, making it one of the few Beatles recordings in which none of the band members played an instrument.
