The song “Now and the” was represented by the public at the end of 2023. However, her story began a few decades before. John Lennon recorded the demo version of the composition in the late 70s of the last century. Later, the record, along with several other tracks, was transferred to other members of the group to include in the project The Beatles Anthology. However, at that time, the composition of the composition could not be completed due to technical restrictions that did not allow to separate the vocals of Lennon from the sounds of the piano.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr (Ringo Starr), along with technical specialists of director Peter Jackson, were able to complete the composition in 2021. Engineers involved machine learning technology to create an algorithm, which allowed to separate the recording fragments from each other and make the sound more clean. It is noted that when working on the track, no synthetic elements were created, which McCartney stated in 2023 when he evaluated the role of artificial intelligence in the creation of the track.
