"Here, There and Everywhere" is a ballad that McCartney wrote towards the end of the "Revolver" sessions. His inspiration for the song was the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" track "God Only Knows", which, in turn, Brian Wilson had been inspired to write after repeatedly listening to "Rubber Soul". McCartney's double-tracked vocal was treated with varispeeding, resulting in a higher pitch at playback. The song's opening lines are sung in free time before its 4/4 time signature is established; according to Everett, "nowhere else does a Beatles introduction so well prepare a listener for the most striking and expressive tonal events that lie ahead." Womack characterises the song as a romantic ballad "about living in the here and now" and "fully experiencing the conscious moment". He notes that, with the preceding track, "Love You To", the album expresses "corresponding examinations of the human experience of physical and romantic love".
