This song finds Paul McCartney singing about his desire to stay the night with the person he loves. Originally recorded in August 1986 in New York City, McCartney redid the track a decade later for his Flaming Pie album.
The song features Ringo Starr on drums. McCartney recalled that he'd been meaning to do something with Ringo for years, as at that point they had done little work together outside The Beatles. It was Flaming Pie producer Jeff Lynne who suggested getting Ringo to play on the album. "I had this song 'Beautiful Night' which I'd written quite a few years ago. I'd always liked it but I felt I didn't quite have the right version of it," McCartney said. "So I got this song out for when Ringo was coming in, and right away it was just like the old days."
Starr also played on the Flaming Pie track "Really Love You." The pair wrote that song during a jam session the day after they recorded "Beautiful Night."
