The Beatles Last Song, “Now And Then,” Receives Two Grammy Nominations in 2025
The Beatles Last Song: In a groundbreaking moment for music history, The Beatles have earned two Grammy nominations in 2025 for their last-ever song, “Now And Then.” Nearly 50 years after their split, the legendary band has made an unexpected return to the Grammy race, thanks to the innovative use of artificial intelligence (AI) in restoring their final track.
“Now And Then,” a song originally written by John Lennon in 1970, features his preserved and enhanced vocals, made possible by AI technology. The track also includes new instrumentation from surviving Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as guitar recordings by George Harrison from the 1990s. With the band’s timeless legacy still resonating, the song has been nominated for Record of the Year, where it faces stiff competition from the likes of Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone, and tracks by Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish.
Additionally, “Now And Then” has been nominated for Best Rock Performance, competing against well-established rock artists such as Green Day, Pearl Jam, and The Black Keys. This marks the first Grammy nomination for The Beatles in nearly three decades, since their last recognition in the late 1990s, when they won three Grammys, including Best Music Video and Best Pop Performance.
The nominations have stirred excitement among Beatles fans and the music industry alike. Paul McCartney has referred to “Now And Then” as “the last Beatles song,” reflecting the bittersweet nature of this final chapter for the iconic band.
As The Beatles continue to make waves in the music world, their influence remains undeniable, even decades after their final album. The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 2, 2025, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where fans and industry insiders will eagerly await the outcome of this historic nomination
