As Paul McCartney is getting ready to revisit the Wings era of his career with an upcoming book and documentary, the rocker is revealing some of the Wings deep cuts he loves that may not be on a fan's radar.

In the latest Q&A on McCartney's website, a fan asked the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer to name his favorite "deep cut" Wings track, with the writer noting his was "Daytime Nighttime Suffering," a favorite of McCartney's late wife, Linda McCartney.

"'Daytime Nighttime Suffering' is one of my favorites, as it was Linda's," Sir Paul replied about the track, which was a B-side to the 1979 single "Goodnight Tonight." "But another song I like a lot is 'Arrow Through Me,'" from the 1979 album Back to the Egg.

He added, "It is lovely to see these songs reappear from time to time, mainly when they are used in a film or TV show. I think a lot of young people discover my songs this way."

McCartney recently highlighted both songs, as well as other deep cuts and B-sides, in a Sticking Out of My Back Pocket playlist on Spotify, which was described as "a celebration of home recordings, alternate takes, and the kind of tracks hidden deep within Paul's discography."

And fans are about to learn a lot more about McCartney’s post-Beatles career, including the formation of Wings.

It is the subject of the new documentary Man on the Run, which just had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival. It will be released in select theaters and then stream on Prime Video starting Feb. 25, 2026.

McCartney will also release a new book about that time in his life. Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run will be released Nov. 4.
