- Credited to Lennon–McCartney, "Help!" was written by John Lennon with some help from Paul McCartney.
- John Lennon recounted: "The whole Beatles thing was just beyond comprehension. I was subconsciously crying out for help". The documentary series The Beatles Anthology revealed that Lennon wrote the lyrics of the song to express his stress after the Beatles' quick rise to success. "I was fat and depressed and I was crying out for 'Help'", Lennon describes the song as the first crack in the protective shell Lennon had built around his emotions during the Beatles' rise to fame, and an important milestone in his songwriting style.
Furthermore Lennon said that the song was one of his favorites among the Beatles songs he wrote. Lennon said he felt that "Help!" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" were his most honest, genuine Beatles songs and not just songs "written to order".
According to Paul McCartney, he was called in "to complete it", providing the "countermelody" arrangement, on 4 April 1965 at Lennon's house in Weybridge UK. -
