"Wait" is a song recorded by The Beatles, from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. The songwriting credit is Lennon/McCartney, and is a joint effort between the two. The lyrics, describing the singer's anxieties about his relationship with his girl while he is away, are thematically similar to several other Lennon/McCartney songs, such as "When I Get Home" and "Things We Said Today," written during the period of 1964 and 1965.

Origin
The song was originally recorded for Help! in June 1965 but did not make the final pressing. When Rubber Soul fell one song short for a Christmas release, "Wait" was brought back. The Beatles added overdubs to the initial recording so it would blend in better with the other, more recent songs on Rubber Soul.[1]
