This was Paul McCartney's first true solo UK #1. Since leaving the Beatles his previous UK #1s had been "Mull Of Kintyre" credited to Wings and "Ebony And Ivory" credited to Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. Overall, it was his 25th UK #1 as a writer.
The line in the song, "In love our problems disappear" was taken from the 1913 Nobel Prize winning Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). The original quotation was: "In love all of life's contradictions dissolve and disappear."
In the US this was the B-side to a high-pitched Soul ballad "So Bad," which peaked at #23.
