Both Harrison and Black were from Liverpool and had become famous quickly. After becoming famous people thought they had changed, and Harrison thought of writing a song about that. He came up with "I've heard how some people have said that I've changed" and continued writing the rest. By the time he was ready, the song had evolved into something completely different and Harrison used it on his own album instead. The song was recorded during the recording sessions for "Living in the Material World".
