About
Genius Annotation
According to the Beatles Bible, “I Wanna Be Your Man” was written by Lennon and McCartney in order to show Mick Jagger and Keith Richards—of The Rolling Stones—how easy songwriting was. It inspired them to start writing their own songs.
The song was a minor hit for The Stones in 1963. To avoid too many comparisons, Ringo sang the Beatles' version.
