'''Come Together''' is a song by the Beatles, written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. Released as a single in 1969, and as the opening track on the album Abbey Road, it was a number one hit in the US. Its distinctive style and cryptic lyrics have fascinated fans and music scholars for decades.

== Background and Composition ==
'''Come Together''' was originally written by John Lennon for Timothy Leary's campaign for governor of California against Ronald Reagan, which explains its enigmatic and revolutionary lyrics. However, its ultimate use in Abbey Road marked a significant shift from its political roots.
