∙ 12y agoFrequently. The song "Help" for instance was one of the songs he wrote about himself telling his story and how he needed help out of the Beatles and in life. Some others include "Norwegian Wood" about a time when he was having an affair with another woman besides his wife at the time, Cynthia Powell. There are many more and if you listen just a few of the songs he wrote then it will most likely become clear.

McCartney co-produced a reunion album for the Everlys, titled EB84, for which he wrote some of the material.

Which days did John Lennon work?
Lennon didn't have a typical daily or weekly schedule. He worked on music as inspiration struck, or more often as recording dates loomed: "Paul would call to say he's written his ten songs, let's record now." Lennon complained later about "having to write a f***ing stack of songs" quickly, to meet Paul McCartney's expectations. Boyhood friend Pete Shotton often visited Lennon at home on weekends, sometimes helping brainstorm song ideas, and sometimes taking Lennon's wife Cynthia out for the evening, so Lennon could have the house to himself to write.
