[Outro] Une chose sûre est qu'elle est composée par Paul McCartney pendant le séjour des Beatles en Inde, entre février et avril 1968[1].

When discussing the song, McCartney has said that the lyrics were inspired by hearing the call of a blackbird in Rishikesh, India, and alternatively by the unfortunate state of race relations in the United States in the 1960s.
