"Imagine" was inspired by Yoko's 'Grapefruit'. There's a lot of pieces in it saying, like, "Imagine this" or, "Imagine that." If you look, if you get a copy of 'Grapefruit' and you look through, you'll see where I was influenced by her. And I know she helped on a lot of the lyrics but I wasn't man enough to let her have credit for it, so that song was actually written by John and Yoko. But I was still selfish enough and unaware enough to take her take her contribution without acknowledging her. Because I was still full of wanting my own space after being in the room with four guys and always having to share everything - you know, share shirts, share the same dry cleaner, the same everything, so even when Yoko would wear the same colour as me I used to get madly upset and say "It's like the fucking Beatles,  we're not Sonny and Cher, don't dress..." you know, so I wouldn't even let her dress, even if she accidentally chose the same colour outfit as me.

[The song itself] expresses what I'd learned through being with Yoko and my own feelings on it.
