"Two of Us"

"Two of Us" is a 1969 song written by Paul McCartney[1][2] and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The song was recorded by the Beatles on 31 January 1969.

"Two of Us" was originally released as the opening track on Let It Be (1970) and a remix of that recording was later included on Let It Be... Naked (2003). An outtake of the song, recorded on 24 January 1969, was released on Anthology 3 (1996).[3]

The song's title was used for the 2000 TV movie Two of Us, which depicts a fictionalized version of a 1976 reunion between McCartney and Lennon.[4]
