"Help!" dalah lagu The Beatles yang dijadikan sebagai judul lagu sekaligus film kedua pada tahun 1965 dan juga dijadikan soundtrack-nya. Ketika dirilis sebagai single, lagu tersebut menempati nomor satu tangga lagu selama tiga minggu di Amerika Serikat dan Inggris.
"Help!" ditulis sebagai ciptaan Lennon-McCartney. John Lennon menulis sebagian besar liriknya, tetapi dikembangkan sebagian melodinya oleh Paul McCartney.[1] Di saat interview dengan Playboy tahun 1980, John berkata: "Sebagian lagu Beatles tercipta di luar pemahaman saya. Saya tanpa sadar menangis minta tolong! (Help!), lalu tercipta lagu itu."
Komposisi
Serial dokumenter The Beatles Anthologhy mengungkapkan bahwa Lennon menulis lirik lagu ini ketika ia depresi setelah kesuksesan yang cepat dari The Beatles. "Aku menjadi gemuk dan depresi dan aku berteriak 'Help!'," kata Lennon.[2] Penulis Ian MacDonald menggambarkan lagu tersebut merupakan celah pertama dari selubung hati Lennon yang membangun emosinya sepanjang meningkatnya popularitas Beatles, dan merupakan tonggak penting di dalam gaya penulisan lagunya..[3]
