Michelle is a song by the Beatles composed by Paul McCartney with help from John Lennon on the middle lyrics. McCartney wrote the song in homage to women he admired at the time. It first appeared on the 1965 album Rubber Soul. The inspiration came from McCartney attending French-themed parties at university.
