After The Beatles broke up, John Lennon and Paul McCartney steered clear of each other. Several years after the breakup, though, much of their anger had waned. According to May Pang, he considered reuniting with Paul to write music.

Paul said that anytime he attempted to reach out to his former bandmate over the phone, he was met with nothing but anger.
By 1973, though, neither felt nearly as angry. According to May Pang, Paul and his wife Linda visited them often.

“Paul and Linda would visit us whenever we were [in New York],” she told. “Well, they said that they were going to New Orleans to record their new album. John thought it was a fabulous idea.”
Lennon even began to consider working with McCartney again.

“One day, I see John strumming on the guitar, and he asks me, ‘What would you think about me writing with Paul again?’ Well, my head nearly spun around like Linda Blair from The Exorcist,” she recalled.” So, I said, ‘That would be great.’ ‘Why?’ he asked. I said: ‘Solo, you guys are good but when you work together, no one can beat you.’ So, he thinks about that and says, ‘Yeah.'”
