It was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon--McCartney . The Beatles performed the song over a pre-recorded backing track as Britain's contribution to Our World, the first live global television link . Watched by over 400 million in 25 countries, the programme was broadcast via satellite on 25 June 1967 . The song captured the utopian sentiments of the Summer of Love era and topped singles charts in Britain, the United States and many other countries . </P> <P> "All You Need Is Love" was later included on the US Magical Mystery Tour album . It also appears in a sequence in the Beatles' 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine and on the accompanying soundtrack album . </P> <P> For Our World, the Beatles were asked to provide a song with a message that could be easily understood by everyone . The band undertook the assignment at a time when they were committed to two film projects: a planned television special, Magical Mystery Tour, and the animated feature Yellow Submarine, for which they were contractually obliged to United Artists to supply four new recordings . "All You Need Is Love" was selected for Our World for its contemporary social significance over the Paul McCartney - written "Your Mother Should Know". In a statement to Melody Maker magazine, Brian Epstein, the band's manager, said of "All You Need Is Love": "It was an inspired song and they really wanted to give the world a message . The nice thing about it is that it cannot be misinterpreted . It is a clear message saying that love is everything ." Lennon later attributed the song's simple lyrical statements to his liking of slogans and television advertising . He likened the song to a propaganda piece, adding: "I'm a revolutionary artist . My art is dedicated to change ." Author Mark Hertsgaard views it as the Beatles' "most political song yet" up to 1967 and the origins of Lennon's posthumous standing as a "humanitarian hero". </P>
