Something by George Harrison was inspired by his wife, Pattie Boyd. Harrison mentioned that part of the lyrics were inspired by a line from James Taylors song Something in the Way She Moves. It was one of Harrisons first compositions to gain prominence on a Beatles album, marking a turning point in his career as a songwriter. The song is notable for its deep expression of love and is considered one of the Beatles’ greatest love ballads.
