Timeline This song was officially released in 2024

From digitalmusicnews.com, February 5, 2024:

[…] The song was conceived in 2014 after the release of his debut album the previous year, with James reuniting with producer David Kahne for “Beautiful.” McCartney plays an array of instruments on the track, including vocals and guitar, for a song the pair describe as “new folk.”

Lyrics

Beautiful for being my baby

Beautiful for being my baby

Everything, I do it for you

Prison couldn't stop me


Beautiful for being my baby

Beautiful for being my baby


Catch my breath as I look at you

Can't stand it I've gotta go

But I can't, I've gotta stay

Just a little longer


Summer love

I love you

There's a time

For me and you


Beautiful for being my baby

Beautiful for being my love


See you move in the mirror

See you move through my tears

I'm the mirror man who won't fall

Cracked glass, seven years


Beautiful for being my baby

Beautiful for being my love

Beautiful for b?ing my baby

Officially appears on
