Arrow Through Me - Paul McCartney & Wings - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Arrow Through Me," penned by Paul and Linda McCartney, is a highlight from Wings' 1979 final album, Back to the Egg. Characterized by its innovative blend of funk and soul, the song diverges from Paul McCartney's Beatles-era work, incorporating a unique instrumental arrangement without guitars or bass, but featuring electric piano, clavinet, Moog synthesizer, saxophones, trombone, and a distinctive Flexatone played by drummer Steve Holley. During the songwriting process, Paul McCartney aimed to capture a feeling rather than perfect lyrics, exploring themes of betrayal and unfulfilled love through the metaphor of a malevolent Cupid's arrow. Despite "Arrow Through Me"'s numerous innovations, the track achieved modest success, peaking at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. Recorded between July and December 1978, "Arrow Through Me" was also featured in the opening credits of the 1980 film, Oh! Heavenly Dog. It was also sampled by neo-soul singer Erykah Badu on her 2010 track "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long."
