After the song dropped, the legendary Fab Four member, 81, showed his support for his son.

In a post on Facebook, Paul wrote, "My son James has a new song out called 'Primrose Hill' - check it out!"

In anticipation of the release last week, James opened up in a post on Instagram about the significance of the track, which is a lovely folk-rock song helmed by acoustic guitars and James' voice as he romantically reminisces of laying under the stars with a lover.

Along with an image of the cover artwork, which features a bench on a hilltop, and a snippet of the tune, he shared, "I had a vision as a child in Scotland, on what was a lovely summers day."

"Letting go, I saw my true love and saviour in my mind’s eye. 'Primrose Hill' is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person," he revealed.

James and Sean have both had successful solo careers as musicians, although "Primrose Hill" is their first-ever collaboration.

Sean, 48, has been a member of a handful of bands, including Cibo Matto, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger and The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and also composed film scores.

James, meanwhile, has released solo albums and joined his parents on their projects. He appeared on his father's 1997 album Flaming Pie and 2001 effort Driving Rain, as well as Wide Prairie, a compilation released in honor of his mother several months after she died from breast cancer in 1998.

The folk artist last released a full-length album in 2016 with The Blackberry Train, and marked his return to music in early 2024 by dropping the single "Beautiful."
