Years later, the song was handed to the other members by Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, who also added their own parts in the song. But due to technological limitations meant Lennon's vocals and piano could not be separated to produce the clear mix required to finish the song.

Later in 2021, Peter Jackson's docu-series The Beatles – Get Back managed to insulate the instruments and vocals by using Al.
