"And I Love Her" is a song recorded by English rock band the Beatles, written primarily by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership.

The Beatles performed "And I Love Her" just once outside EMI Studios; on 14 July 1964 they played it for an edition of the BBC's Top Gear radio show, which was broadcast two days later.

[1] "And I Love Her" has been covered by a variety of artists, including Esther Phillips, Kurt Cobain and Santo & Johnny.

[3] Though the song was written mainly by McCartney, John Lennon claimed in an interview with Playboy that his major contribution was the middle eight section ("A love like ours/Could never die/As long as I/Have you near me").

"[5] McCartney has credited George Harrison with composing the signature guitar riff, saying it "made a stunning difference to the song".

[6] "The 'And' in the title was an important thing – 'And I Love Her,' it came right out of left field, you were right up to speed the minute you heard it," McCartney said.

"[7] An instrumental version of "And I Love Her", orchestrated by George Martin, was released as a single with "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)" as the B-side on 18 July 1964.

Recorded by the Beatles over three days, in Abbey Road Studio Two, the sessions were produced by George Martin and engineered by Norman Smith.

This initial mono mix was made in the Abbey Road Studio One control room on Tuesday 3 March.

[12] The mix features McCartney's single-tracked vocal, with only selected phrases (for example, the title) highlighted by double tracking.

[14] This mix was also used on the film print of A Hard Day's Night except the speed was slower in a low pitch.

This second mono mix was made in the Abbey Road Studio One control room on Monday 22 June.

[14] It can currently be found on the A Hard Day's Night CD, and as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 box set.

Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau included an extended instrumental trio version on his 2016 album Blues and Ballads, which an AllMusic review describes as "transfiguring the minor/major-key centers into something sweeping and operatic.

"[18] An outtake from the original studio sessions, Take 2 recorded 25 February 1964, was released on the 1995 issue of Anthology 1.
