" 'Can't Buy Me Love' is my attempt to write [in] a bluesy mode," McCartney said. He wrote it while the band was doing concerts in Paris for eighteen days straight, two or three shows a day. The single was released a few months later, at the height of Beatlemania: When it hit Number One, the band occupied all five top positions on the American charts.
