Paul McCartney’s “Coming Up” is a funky, upbeat song released in 1980 as part of his “McCartney II” album. The track showcases McCartney’s experimental side, featuring electronic elements and layered vocals. Its catchy bassline, playful rhythm, and energetic horns create an infectious groove that stands out from his earlier work with the Beatles and Wings.
“Coming Up” became a major hit, particularly the live version recorded in Glasgow with Wings, which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. The song’s upbeat, positive vibe and McCartney’s playful delivery make it a fan favorite, and it also became notable for its quirky music video, where McCartney plays multiple characters in a band.
