Basically, All My Loving was the first high point among the McCartney compositions. The song was composed in May 1963 during a Beatles tour with Roy Orbison . McCartney first wrote the text, which was unusual for him. He composed the music in the backstage area of ​​a concert hall on a piano that was parked there because he did not have a guitar to hand.
