"Abbey Road" was their last album as a band together 69. "Let it Be" was recorded before "Abbey Road" but was abandoned & later finished & released by Phil Spector in 71.
I know "Let it Be" was recorded before, but "Abbey Road" is not their last album. Just stick to the chronological order of release dates... "Abbey Road" - 1969 "Let it Be" - 1970 So basically, Let it be is the last album
Larry Peterson. I'll tell you what i think broke them up...they just wanted a break from the same studio sessions together, disagreements and arguing among each other, wanted to spend everyday not hours or a few days with their families and just wanted to try out new things musically with out each other's input...
They grew apart. Paul was the only one who still liked being a Beatle. He's a rural guy living on a farm. George and Ringo wanted a bigger piece of the spotlight. John went protesting, stayed into hard drugs and the city life There's a big difference between spending your day preaching on the streets of NYC/London through a bullhorn, feeding chickens and meditation.
He still liked being a Beatle, yet it's mainly John who continued to write "Beatles songs" in a way. McCartney tried other things, very different from what he used to, Pure folk with "Junk", Gaelic Anthem with "Mull of Kintyre", James Bond theme song with "Live and Let die", Funky song with "Coming up", Pop songs with "say say say". Paul has tremendous, extraordinary range, but you have to admit that the Beatles spirit was still in John.
The Beatles disbanded because Paul in late 1968 wanted to leave the group and start a solo career, as he wanted to get all the money, be the sole star, and play softer music. He then told Hunter Davis about this, and to prepare the public Paul released the film Let It Be / Get Back, which John called Paul's film for Paul. This is the basis. Everything else is just excuses or little things that did not have a decisive influence.
12 albums in 8 years, 20 number 1 hits total, 6 number 1 hits in 1964, and 34 top 10 hits. After all that hard work, they were tired. That's why they broke up.
For those of you that clicked this thinking Paul was going to explain why they broke up, it's click baid. The reasons the Beatles broke up are complex, however it comes mainly down to one simple thing. They wanted to stop touring for awhile, and then when Brian Epstein died the Beatles haggled over who should be the manager, and Paul disagreed with the rest of the Beatles. They really broke up when Epstien died.
You nailed it. And the nonsense about Yoko being the wedge is another mislead. John was focusing on Yoko, but George needed to stretch, and Ringo had enough of the arguments and unproductive studio hours. Had John not been murdered, I think the Beatles would have gotten back in the studio, but with different ground rules. They were in need of a long vacation from being a unit, but not from being colleagues. Nevertheless, they remain the most popular, productive, and terrific rock band of all time.
PRR5406 It's kind of ironic that a Beatle wife was blamed for the break up of the Beatles when we have Linda influencing Paul on who should be the Beatles manager which basically caused Paul to sue the Beatles. I don't like Yoko Ono though, you don't just leave your past behind and the people with it, that hurts people like Julian who didn't deserve to be treated like that.
PRR5406 one of the best for good and for bad. Good as they did play the best of the British beat music, and did so much for pop and rock n' roll. But bad because there are so much other rock n' roll bands who also contributed so much. It's shame the genera population is towards the sight of those bands. Essentially, bands like Led Zeppelin they get all the credit for what the Beatles and others like Cream and Hendrix Experience did as pioneers before them.
Bullshit !!! The beatles broke up because of yoko !!!!! John was a pussy, he let a female become between him and the best rock band ever- yoko lol what a fuckin joke - the other three beatles were all ready to keep it together but john wanted to do his thing with yoko- it even took john thee fucking years to finally admit that paul was right about alan klein all that crap about the beatles breaking up recording the white album and how let it be was a movie about them breaking up was NOT even a issue untill paul broke the band up cause john was pulling paul and the other two along on a string paul tried to save the beatles but john was off doing heroin with yoko so pual said fuck him i quit !! John cried the blues and hated paul because he did not get a chance to break up the beatles so he made fun of pauls song all the time even on tv- wow what a friend
It's simple they were changing and wanted to do other things within music. George for instance had so much material he would have never got to release with the Beatles and back then it was not like it is now where you can be in multiple bands. They went onto four separate careers and we all should just be happy those 4 unique very talented individuals stayed together long enough to make 12 fantastic albums filled with such incredible music.
As Paul once said in an interview. They had come full circle. They did what they had all wanted to do and it was time to move on. No one person broke up the Beatles. By the time all of them had significant others they were already well on their way of breaking up.
john was moving away from the group because of Yoko George Harrison was also discontent. He was happier plsying with Bob Dylan and others. Paul was just about the only one serious about keeping the group together. Ringo actually left the group during the white album, he didn't feel appreciated. You can't blame it on one person or one thing
They've all discussed it many times before. The simplest answer is that they just weren't getting along anymore and they were growing apart and wanted different things. They got together as boys and now they were becoming men and they needed space to go their own way. Not really unlike when people grow apart in a marriage- John had actually compared the situation to a divorce! The more complicated answer was after Brian Epstein died they lost their direction, and couldn't agree on a new manager, that led to a lot of acrimonious fights; they formed the Apple Company, and none of the Beatles knew anything about business and didn't know how to manage it. George was becoming more creatively prolific and wanted to record more of his songs, but John and Paul ignored him and condescended to him. Then there were all sort of personal things on the side with their love lives- for years they had been an insular little community with an extended family feel among their group, then John left Cynthia and got together with Yoko Ono, who nobody liked and he insisted on bringing around all the time, and Paul left Jane and got together with Linda. Linda herself wasn't a problem, but she just wasn't "one of the gang" as Jane was and it increased the general feeling that the Beatles family was falling apart, which had felt that way since Brian died. Individual members were having personal issues with drugs and alcohol, and issues at home with divorces and affairs and domestic problems. It just eventually came to a head for them and they couldn't go on.
@@moonlily1 They weren't getting along due to the business meetings at apple they had to attend at the time but ultimately the broke up over money and business dealings (legal stuff etc.) which wasn't resolved until 1975.
@@nigelmurphy6761 I think creative frustrations and personal issues played into it as well. Not as much specific personal issues so much as having spent too much time together in the fishbowl of mega fame and just started chafing each other's nerves in a general sort of way. I mean, they'd been a group since their early teens and now they were pushing 30. They just needed to move on.
It IS interesting what he says about feeling lost after the Beatles split, he being perhaps the most popular musician in the world at the time of the breakup . . . but the title is misleading. He doesn't really say anything about why the Beatles broke up.
I hate click-bait. When Brian Epstein died, they went into cruise control. Paul wanted to lead, and the others resented him for it. Add in the presence of Yoko to an already tense situation and it all fell apart. It's a real shame they didn't all just take a year or 18 month vacation away from each other to mature a little bit, get away from each other, and live separate lives for awhile. As Forrest Gump says, "It must be hard being brothers....I wouldn't know".
That's not it at all. John could not stand Faul. They were forced to work with him. Beginning in 1967 with Sgt. Pepper's. Paul was murdered in late 1966. Replaced by the "Paul" we all know today after 51 yrs. FAUL, Sir Billy.
April Garcia - Piss off with your fake Paul bullshit! We’re supposed to believe they found some random guy with the same level of talent, not to mention the same voice, as Paul McCartney? Get the F outta here.
Doug Robb - You’re spot on with your comments. In addition to the fact that the four were approaching their 30s and were naturally growing apart as they became family men, when Brian Epstein died, the vultures swooped in and the four had to mind the cookie jar for the first time in their careers. Brian was the only person the four Beatles trusted with their money and was an equal partner. Their breakup was inevitable, but the fight over who would be their new manager, among other things, no doubt helped expedite it.
They created an incredible body of work which will stand for all time... the why's and wherefore's of their splitting are kind of irrelevant now. They led the world of popular music to undreamed of heights, and will always be legends!
Their early work was great, but then they took a turn toward cutesy, gimmicky music with little emotional content (Yellow submarine? How many holes does it take to fill the Albert Hall?, etc.). Sorry, they lost me there.
the beatles had run their course leaving an incredible body of work....they accomplished so much, travelled the globe, broke new ground, became millionaires....where did it all go wrong? it didn`t.
Familiarity breeds contempt." They did everything together, but they wanted their own lives. The Beatles era ended while they were on top. As a result, they became immortal ! "Let It Be"
I just wish everyone that really loves(d) the Beatles would quit arguing and giving all the negative comments about this one said this and that one said that, I just appreciated them so much from the first time I heard them in Miami in Feb.1964 that i just cant say any thing about any of them or listen to talk about them that brings me down. they were just so stinking great and brought so much joy and great feelings to so many, please just remember the way you felt when you first heard "Hey Jude""I saw her standing there"etc.etc.etc.so much great music, please fans and friends just enjoy the tunes and never stop Loving them from "Yesterday"Till i'm 64"those of us that were teens in the 50s and 60s were so blessed with the greatest decades of music.
The Beatles disbanded because Paul in late 1968 wanted to leave the group and start a solo career, as he wanted to get all the money, be the sole star, and play softer music. He then told Hunter Davis about this, and to prepare the public Paul released the film Let It Be / Get Back, which John called Paul's film for Paul. This is the basis.
The truth emerged immediately, that is, that was Yoko Ono who divided John from the group. The other three could not stand her and were too patient with her because they evidently did not want to lose their leader. What Paul reports today, half a century later, are all inventions, mental ruminations to try to justify a fact that was devastating for the whole group, especially for the other three, Paul at the head of all. Of course if they had continued together for at least another twenty years I think that today they would be at the same height as Beethoven or Mozart.
They just grew out of it, they became individuals, and the band became stifling, it would have happened eventually anyway, yoko or no yoko. Great while it lasted, we were lucky to live through that era
John Lennon said it was over for him when he was filming “How I Won The War” in Spain late 1966, Yoko finally gave him something else to do in ‘68, and ‘69 was just used to complete the required number of albums to fulfill the EMI contract they had signed in 1965 before he was out, John told Paul it was over right before leaving to play at a Toronto music fest with Eric Clapton, and after “Abbey Road” was done, in September of 1969
INMHO the Beatles split because they were extremely creative and they took the Beatles as far as they could, as a live act, as a recording act and as a film product. The had reached a peak and could go no higher. The only way they could express their creativity further was to do it as individuals and certainly Paul and George did that to a very large degree.
What part of "Let it Be was the last Beatles album released" don't people understand? By definition, there should be no stupid comments about Abbey Road.
templar99 let it be’s recording finished in 1970, therefore it is technically the last album. Why the fuck is this so important, nobody puts Let it Be before abbey road when chronologically ordering the lp’s. Nitpicking is rather stupid, especially when the argument is incorrect.
I hope people read the comments and don't watch this video. The title isn't just misleading it's completely false because there is no mention at all as to why the Beatles broke up.
Wow!! So many of us. All knowing things... Beatle. That's what we watched this for. And it was disappointing, except if you read everyone's comments. THAT'S where you maybe get additional information, or perspectives. Born in '54. So 9 when they got here( FEB. USA). Born in April. Anthology doesn't even tell it all. But thanks to everyone here. All we need is Love.
Untrue. It was released afterward. It was recorded in early 1969. Abbey Road was released almost immediately following its recording that summer. Phil Spector had already been set to produce Let It Be and, was known for over producing in the first place. When he realized the band was probably going to break up after Abbey Road, he stalled even more, knowing that his production would have the potential to be the highest grossing album of all time. Since it came out after the news that the Beatles have broken up, Phil Spector had the honor and privilege of saying that he produced the last Beatles album.
John Lennon couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't stand Faul. He & the other 2 had been forced to work with him. The replacement since 1967 beginning with Sgt Pepper's. Paul was murdered in late 1966. Sir Billy has been impersonating Paul for 51yrs now. He is all people know.
The Beatles had done EVERYTHING they could have done by 1969. Powerful new groups and sounds were emerging in England to dominate the airwaves with complex and sophisticated new "progressive rock". Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Yes, and Jethro Tull were just some of the new talent who took the Beatles evolution of Rock and Roll to new levels. Pressure was put upon them to "Let it Be"....that they were a group "of the sixties" and that they should STAY in the sixties and not tarnish their reputation trying to compete with the new sound and the new supergroups. This happened to Garth Brooks, who was told by record executives that he was " of the 90's" and that he should quit. Personal gripes also were a major cause of the Beatles breakup..... George felt held back, and he PROVED it with his massive success on his"All Things Must Pass" solo album with MANY hits on that record. Lennon ticked off the other three DELIBERATELY by shoving Yoko down their throats with her annoying presence at every session.....a typical Lennon move designed to frustrate the increasingly dominant McCartney who even ticked off George himself. Ringo was devastated by the breakup....he had no dreams of solo glory like the others and felt a great loss with no Beatles. Ironically, it was Ringo who then garnered the most hit songs after the breakup as his ex- Beatle bandmates provided " A Little Help From His Friends" to insure his success with their song writing and playing on his records. It was tough then for the fans to digest....they were so loved and were such a part of everyone's youth. Decades later, the disappointment of the fans has eased and the music lives ON........more than that of the "supergroups" and all the rest of the ho-hum that followed. They are in a category all their own, forever joined together in the minds and memories of those who loved them.
In a broader sense... They broke up because they grew up and needed more room to create....IMO and i I LOVE Paul... Is that he was asserting dominance over the other guys.
There is no group who had the schedules of gigs and popularity, on the planet, as The Beatles! They had had enough! There will never again be 4 individuals who conquered the World, I have listened to their music for over 50 years, and it's even more interesting and evocative than before - whoever of the 1000 people who decided against Paul, well they know 'nothing' about their real lives and just like the musak today it's, almost 'crap', non original and sometimes less than 3 chords musically!
The usual reasons. Musical differences, band cabin fever, marriage. Sometimes bands stay together despite all that (e.g., Metallica, Bon Jovi) and sometimes they can't (e.g., the Ramones, the Smiths).
This was a fine video and I'm glad I watched it. That gets it a thumb up from me. But I'm taking it back because, for all this video is, it is NOT _Paul McCartney Reveals Why the Beatles Really Broke Up._ Nope, it ain't that.
My cousin is a beetle fanatic and he says that Yoko Ono was busting all of their nuts that's basically what broke up the band, too many worms were trying to slide into the same hole!!
Issue reported: Spam or misleading > Misleading text Timestamp selected: 1:44 Additional details: Click Bait , misleading text used to deliberately entice users.
Paul McCartney got a lawyer and wanted to be paid for his songs that he wrote and this made the other three Beatles have to also get lawyers. That's why the Beatles Really Broke Up! It was Paul McCartney not being a band member but wanting to be paid for what he wrote. Paul really was dead "inside" John even wrote about it.....
Throughout the years people have claimed that Yoko Ono Lennon was responsible for breaking up the Beatles? Mapmaker: This is an absolute lie, there is Absolutely no truth to that what so ever.If anyone is responsible for breaking up the Beatles it was Paul McCartney . It was in April 1969 when John Lennon discovered that Paul McCartney had been secretly buying up shares of northern songs (Beatles copyright company)behind John Lennon’s back. When John found this out he felt not only betrayed but stabbed in the back.From that point on their relationship was finished.John only kept his band the Beatles together out of business obligations.Nothing more. As John Lennon said at the time when McCartney took to announcing breaking up John Lennons band the Beatles to promote his album McCartney “ ‘He didn’t quit, I sacked him!’”
"Abbey Road" was their last album. "Let it Be" was recorded before. 🎸🎼
But Paul had a beard before abbey road XD

This is not WHY the Beatle broke up but how he felt about it
Play eagles
The Beatles forever!
They came along,they were great,and then they went away.Perfect
Things are working themselves Together lesson from The Beatles man.
The truth emerged immediately, that is, that was Yoko Ono who divided John from the group. The other three could not stand her and were too patient with her because they evidently did not want to lose their leader. What Paul reports today, half a century later, are all inventions, mental ruminations to try to justify a fact that was devastating for the whole group, especially for the other three, Paul at the head of all.
Of course if they had continued together for at least another twenty years I think that today they would be at the same height as Beethoven or Mozart.
Wish we could have heard the whole thing.
Absolutely nothing Paul hasn't said a thousand times before.
The Beatles still are the best band out there and its not even close.
.......You got it right my friend!
Let it Be was recorded and shelved. Abbey Road was their last album recorded. Let It Be was released after the break up.
They just grew out of it, they became individuals, and the band became stifling, it would have happened eventually anyway, yoko or no yoko. Great while it lasted, we were lucky to live through that era
John Lennon told the band members he was leaving the band from a recent Paul McCartney interview
John Lennon said it was over for him when he was filming “How I Won The War” in Spain late 1966, Yoko finally gave him something else to do in ‘68, and ‘69 was just used to complete the required number of albums to fulfill the EMI contract they had signed in 1965 before he was out, John told Paul it was over right before leaving to play at a Toronto music fest with Eric Clapton, and after “Abbey Road” was done, in September of 1969
Yoko saved John's life. He might of died in the late 60s if he hadn't found her. He was sinking FAST!!!
INMHO the Beatles split because they were extremely creative and they took the Beatles as far as they could, as a live act, as a recording act and as a film product. The had reached a peak and could go no higher. The only way they could express their creativity further was to do it as individuals and certainly Paul and George did that to a very large degree.
What part of "Let it Be was the last Beatles album released" don't people understand? By definition, there should be no stupid comments about Abbey Road.
That's true, but the story said, "Let it Be was their last album". Not the same thing.
templar99 let it be’s recording finished in 1970, therefore it is technically the last album. Why the fuck is this so important, nobody puts Let it Be before abbey road when chronologically ordering the lp’s. Nitpicking is rather stupid, especially when the argument is incorrect.
I hope people read the comments and don't watch this video. The title isn't just misleading it's completely false because there is no mention at all as to why the Beatles broke up.
Wow!! So many of us. All knowing things... Beatle. That's what we watched this for. And it was disappointing, except if you read everyone's comments. THAT'S where you maybe get additional information, or perspectives. Born in '54. So 9 when they got here( FEB. USA). Born in April. Anthology doesn't even tell it all. But thanks to everyone here. All we need is Love.
It’s not a “reveal” we knew this forever.
Actually ABBY ROAD was recorded BEFORE Let it Be fact, 😮
Your fact is wrong. FACT!!
yeah, no kidding. every Beatles fan knows "Let It Be" was recorded first.
Untrue. It was released afterward. It was recorded in early 1969. Abbey Road was released almost immediately following its recording that summer. Phil Spector had already been set to produce Let It Be and, was known for over producing in the first place. When he realized the band was probably going to break up after Abbey Road, he stalled even more, knowing that his production would have the potential to be the highest grossing album of all time. Since it came out after the news that the Beatles have broken up, Phil Spector had the honor and privilege of saying that he produced the last Beatles album.
😾@@IRonMan-kw2jp In jail....
Abby Road was their last recording
Well.... One thing Let It Be, was the last released album, while Abbey Road was the last RECORDED album...
Ollie Ahokas what's the last album in the discog? That's the last album.
I blame it on the kid who likes to spin really fast on office chairs. He also broke up our group, the Butles.
Oh how i wish they didn't break up atleast until the 80s
Does not say why but your gonna get annoyed if you are with the same people for 10 years everyday
so what was the 'real reason'the beatles broke up? im still waiting whoever made this vid for cash
Cavett: “Yoko, you've even been called the dragon lady who broke The Beatles apart.” Yoko: “Yes.”
John Lennon couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't stand Faul. He & the other 2 had been forced to work with him. The replacement since 1967 beginning with Sgt Pepper's. Paul was murdered in late 1966. Sir Billy has been impersonating Paul for 51yrs now. He is all people know.
I actually know relatively fuck all about the beatles.
The Beatles had done EVERYTHING they could have done by 1969. Powerful new groups and sounds were emerging in England to dominate the airwaves with complex and sophisticated new "progressive rock". Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Yes, and Jethro Tull were just some of the new talent who took the Beatles evolution of Rock and Roll to new levels. Pressure was put upon them to "Let it Be"....that they were a group "of the sixties" and that they should STAY in the sixties and not tarnish their reputation trying to compete with the new sound and the new supergroups. This happened to Garth Brooks, who was told by record executives that he was " of the 90's" and that he should quit. Personal gripes also were a major cause of the Beatles breakup..... George felt held back, and he PROVED it with his massive success on his"All Things Must Pass" solo album with MANY hits on that record. Lennon ticked off the other three DELIBERATELY by shoving Yoko down their throats with her annoying presence at every session.....a typical Lennon move designed to frustrate the increasingly dominant McCartney who even ticked off George himself. Ringo was devastated by the breakup....he had no dreams of solo glory like the others and felt a great loss with no Beatles. Ironically, it was Ringo who then garnered the most hit songs after the breakup as his ex- Beatle bandmates provided " A Little Help From His Friends" to insure his success with their song writing and playing on his records. It was tough then for the fans to digest....they were so loved and were such a part of everyone's youth. Decades later, the disappointment of the fans has eased and the music lives ON........more than that of the "supergroups" and all the rest of the ho-hum that followed. They are in a category all their own, forever joined together in the minds and memories of those who loved them.
You didn't mention Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, whose album are now by far much more "modern".
I say that as a Beatles fan.
In a broader sense... They broke up because they grew up and needed more room to create....IMO and i I LOVE Paul... Is that he was asserting dominance over the other guys.
CLICK BAIT FROM THE NEWS!!!! my god
Their last album was Abbey Road, they just released Let It Be before Abbey Road.
Beatles 4 ever
Short answer: Yoko
Nah, the short answer is Brian Epsteins death.
Abbey Road was their last album. Let It Be was their last release.
There is no group who had the schedules of gigs and popularity, on the planet, as The Beatles! They had had enough! There will never again be 4 individuals who conquered the World, I have listened to their music for over 50 years, and it's even more interesting and evocative than before - whoever of the 1000 people who decided against Paul, well they know 'nothing' about their real lives and just like the musak today it's, almost 'crap', non original and sometimes less than 3 chords musically!
"Because Linda sat on Yoko's knees,no?"
"Because Beatles' world was not round,no?"
Didn't say
Thanks for not answering my question
The usual reasons. Musical differences, band cabin fever, marriage. Sometimes bands stay together despite all that (e.g., Metallica, Bon Jovi) and sometimes they can't (e.g., the Ramones, the Smiths).
Thanx yoko
This was a fine video and I'm glad I watched it. That gets it a thumb up from me.
But I'm taking it back because, for all this video is, it is NOT _Paul McCartney Reveals Why the Beatles Really Broke Up._ Nope, it ain't that.
Paul has been answering why the beatles broke up for five decades now
I'm still waiting...
McCartney doesn't know "tremendous pain."
It was time for band on the run ;)
I can't believe that Paul didn't know if he was going to "continue in music". Are we to believe that he had thoughts of going out and getting a job?
....Ringo knows the truth..........He's carried that weight a long time.....
That was like 15 seconds of Paul talking
My cousin is a beetle fanatic and he says that Yoko Ono was busting all of their nuts that's basically what broke up the band, too many worms were trying to slide into the same hole!!
Abby road was there last albm
Let It Be was NOT their last album....It was Abbey Road.....
So, why did The Beatles really break up? The segment is about what it was like for McCartney after they broke up.
~John Davidson reporting! Haha
abbey road was the last album
He didn't say why he said what it was like.
Thumbs down for CLICK BAIT!
Come on ABC News. A misleading title? Really? BOO!
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what.

You still don't reveal why they split! You just tell us how Paul felt!
Abbey Road was the last album, not Let it Be.
wait let me get this straight so let it be with her last song?
the duality of the likes and dislikes lol
I was smitten, taken over by whatever bio magic that was, and the breakup was a major trauma, and that's just a fan.
I knew it would be clickbait
Paul McCartney got a lawyer and wanted to be paid for his songs that he wrote and this made the other three Beatles have to also get lawyers. That's why the Beatles Really Broke Up! It was Paul McCartney not being a band member but wanting to be paid for what he wrote. Paul really was dead "inside" John even wrote about it.....
Oh poor Paul .
YOKO, The End. If she never appeared the Beatles continue for another 10 years. Maybe it’s a good thing it ended? They went out on Top?
Throughout the years people have claimed that Yoko Ono Lennon was responsible for breaking up the Beatles?
Mapmaker:
This is an absolute lie, there is Absolutely no truth to that what so ever.If anyone is responsible for breaking up the Beatles it was Paul McCartney . It was in April 1969 when John Lennon discovered that Paul McCartney had been secretly buying up shares of northern songs (Beatles copyright company)behind John Lennon’s back. When John found this out he felt not only betrayed but stabbed in the back.From that point on their relationship was finished.John only kept his band the Beatles together out of business obligations.Nothing more. As John Lennon said at the time when McCartney took to announcing breaking up John Lennons band the Beatles to promote his album McCartney “ ‘He didn’t quit, I sacked him!’”
Clikbait.
