"When I Get Home" is a song written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney), and recorded by the English rock band the Beatles on 2 June 1964, during the last session for their third studio album A Hard Day's Night (1964).

[2] Influenced somewhat by the Shirelles,[3] "When I Get Home" is essentially a rock and roll number, but with unusual chord progressions.

After completing "When I Get Home" in 11 takes, the Beatles finished recording another Lennon song, "Any Time At All", which they had started work on earlier that day.

They also recorded Paul McCartney's "Things We Said Today" during the same session.

[5] The band Yellow Matter Custard covered the song for their CD/DVD release One Night In New York City.
