A masterpiece with a gentle melody.
This ballad features soft vocals that make frequent use of falsetto, with the melody standing out against a simple accompaniment.
McCartney played piano, bass, and knee percussion, while James Kippen played tabla, and they tried "around 20 to 30 takes." The song reached number one on the UK and Irish singles charts. "So Bad" reached number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 3 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, number 18 on the Canadian RPM chart, and number 2 on the AC chart.
