The song is an autobiography of Starr put to song, with emphasis on his time with the Beatles. The title refers to the postal district of the Toxteth area of Liverpool in which Starr was born. The single was initially produced by Starr and Mark Hudson, a long-time collaborator of Starr. When Hudson was fired by the former Beatle, Dave Stewart was hired to help finish both the single and the studio album.[3][4]
