Something

"Something" is a song written by George Harrison, originally released on the Beatles' last chronological album, Abbey Road by Apple Records. It is the Beatles' song with the second-most cover versions – about a thousand – trailing behind "Yesterday," which has three times that number. BMI has certified "Something" as the 17th most performed song of the 20th century, with over five million performances.

"Something", together with "Here Comes the Sun", another song from Abbey Road, thrust Harrison into the limelight as a full-fledged songwriter. Prior to this, his compositions had been considered by some to be relatively lacklustre, somewhat overshadowed by the collaborative works of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. "Something" became Harrisons first (and only) single and no. 1 hit.
