"The Back Seat of My Car" is a song by Paul McCartney which ends the Ram album and was released as a single in the UK - peaking at #39.[1][2] John Lennon felt that this song, among others on the album, was directed at him; in particular, he perceived the protagonists who sing "We believe that we can't be wrong" to be himself and Yoko Ono.[citation needed]
McCartney first presented this song in a very late period Beach Boys style for The Beatles' consideration at the 14 January 1969 Let It Be sessions at Twickenham studios.
Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic said the song demonstrated the "imaginative and gorgeous" arrangements on Ram and called the song its "sad, soaring finale."[3]
