McCartney had been often teased by fellow Beatle John Lennon and music critics for writing lightweight, "silly love songs", and McCartney wrote this number in response. In addition, "Silly Love Songs" was McCartney's foray into the then-popular disco sound, with McCartney's bass guitar taking a lead role against a steady disco-style drumbeat. As such it was the forerunner for other 1960s-era British musicians trying their hand at disco; examples that followed included The Rolling Stones' "Miss You" and Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?".
