這首歌差點就作為《Strawberry Fields Forever》或《Penny Lane》的B面發行單曲,最後才決定將那兩首歌發行雙A面單曲而將這首歌收錄於隨後發行的專輯《Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band》之中。

McCartney的孩子在McCartney 64歲生日時在Abbey Road錄音室錄製了一個特別版本的《When I'm Sixty-Four》作為生日禮物,並在他的生日party上表演。在Giles Martin的幫助下,他們改寫了歌詞以符合情景。當時,McCartney正受離婚之擾,當時他與第二任妻子Heather Mills即將離婚。
在2007年的喜劇電影《Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story》中,McCartney (由Jack Black飾演)和Lennon (由Paul Rudd飾演)正在爭吵,Lennon嘲笑道,“我猜你的歌到我64歲的時候仍然是坨屎。”
歌詞
When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
