"When I Get Home" is a John Lennon composition (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and recorded by The Beatles on 2 June 1964 during the last session for their LP A Hard Day's Night. Its first US release was on the Something New LP.
Influenced somewhat by the Shirelles,[3] "When I Get Home" is essentially a rock and roll number, but with its unusual chord progressions (changing from major to minor keys and back) it bucks the genre to some extent. Lennon liked this particular ploy, and used it on many of his songs at the time.
Typical also of this period of The Beatles is the vocal leap into falsetto.
