One of the many unique things about She Loves You when it first arrived in everybody's ear was that its lyrics are in the second person; one friend telling the other that SHE loves YOU instead of the standard I/you/me first person that made up 99.99% of all songs. So what happens? As of today in 2024, it remains the biggest-selling single in UK history...
...and then...
...five years later The Beatles released their SECOND biggest-selling hit Hey Jude, which is...another song written in the second person. Dafuck? Why weren't more songs written in the second person after this bit of a test model? 🤔🤷
