1986 single by Paul McCartney
"Press" is a song by the English rock musician Paul McCartney. It was released as the lead single from his sixth solo studio album, Press to Play (1986), being McCartney`s 37th single. The single has "It`s Not True" as its B-side, which was only included on CD releases of Press to Play.
Release
Released on 14 July 1986, "Press" peaked at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart[1] and number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it spent eight weeks in the top 40.[2] This marked the beginning of a downturn in McCartney`s fortunes on the singles charts, since it was the first time since Back to the Egg in 1979 that a lead single from a McCartney album had failed to reach the top 20 in the US or the UK.
Various issues in the UK include two 7-inch singles ("Press" and "Press-video edit"), a 10-inch single in a special fold-out sleeve, and two 12-inch singles.

The 1986 music video for "Press" was shot entirely in the London Underground. McCartney sings the song as he takes the Tube from South Kensington to Piccadilly Circus. As he takes the escalator to the platform and boards a Tube train, he begins singing the track. The video continues with scenes from around the Underground. These include shots of various commuters and buskers, featuring an accordionist and a violinist. McCartney interacts with members of the general public aboard the train and in the station, signing autographs, accepting a kiss from a female fan and leaving a tip for the violinist. In the final shot, he is seen riding the escalator up out of the Underground. The video edit was also included on
