John Mayer and Keith Urban’s Captivating Rendition of “Don’t Let Me Down”
“Don’t Let Me Down” is a song by the English rock band The Beatles. It was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney. The song was first performed as part of the Beatles’ famous rooftop concert on January 30, 1969, which took place on the roof of the Apple Corps building in London.
“Don’t Let Me Down” is a love song that expresses vulnerability and a plea for emotional support. John Lennon takes the lead vocals on the track, and it features harmonies from Paul McCartney and backing vocals from both George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
While “Don’t Let Me Down” was not included on any official Beatles studio album during their active career, it was released as a single in 1969 with “Get Back” as the A-side. The single was a commercial success, reaching high positions on the charts.
The song has since become one of The Beatles’ well-known and beloved tracks. It’s often performed in live tribute performances and remains a fan favorite. The rooftop concert, featuring “Don’t Let Me Down” and other songs, is also remembered as one of the band’s final live performances together.
