“You look tired, love…” That tender line wasn’t just a lyric—it was Paul McCartney’s real-time observation of Cilla Black during a grueling rehearsal. In 1967, when asked to write a theme for Cilla’s new BBC show, McCartney composed “Step Inside Love” as a warm invitation to viewers. The song, later released as a single in 1968, became a top 10 UK hit and a defining moment in Cilla’s career. Its gentle bossa nova rhythm and heartfelt lyrics offered solace and connection, embodying the essence of hospitality and affection. Discover the story behind this timeless classic and how a simple phrase captured the nation’s heart.
