“As You Lie There” is the opening track from the album “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane“, released in 2026. It was also the first song Paul McCartney worked on with producer Andrew Watt, back in April 2021.

The Boys of Dungeon Lane was first brought into existence five years ago when Paul met producer Andrew Watt for a cup of tea and an exchange of ideas. While playing around on the guitar during the meeting, Paul happened upon a chord that even he didn’t recognise. Undeterred and driven by his experimental nature, Paul carried on changing one note, then another, until he had a three-chord sequence, which Watt suggested they should record. 

This session yielded the album’s opening track, As You Lie There. Encouraged by his new producer, Paul would flesh out the new track, playing the majority of instruments – much in the spirit of his 1970 solo debut album, McCartney.  So began the journey of what became Paul’s 18th studio album credited solely to Paul.
