Dont Let Me Down was written by John Lennon as a heartfelt expression of his love for Yoko Ono, whom he felt was the only one that had truly offered him unconditional loving support. The song was an emotional outpour during a tumultuous period, released amidst the recording sessions for the Beatles Let It Be project.
