McCartney is the debut album by English rock musician Paul McCartney. It was issued on Apple Records in April 1970 after McCartney had resisted attempts by his Beatles bandmates to have the release delayed to allow for Apple's previously scheduled titles, notably the band's Let It Be album. McCartney recorded his album during a period of depression and confusion, following John Lennon's private announcement in September 1969 that he was leaving the Beatles, and the conflict over its release further estranged McCartney from his bandmates. A press release in the form of a self-interview, supplied with UK promotional copies of McCartney, led to the announcement of the group's break-up on 10 April 1970.

Three versions of the album have been released, a two-disc CD of 39 tracks, a four-disc LP of 41 tracks, and a four-disc CD (and deluxe digital edition) of 67 tracks. All songs are written by Paul McCartney, except where noted.

Название «Kisses on the Bottom» фигурирует на первой композиции альбома - «I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter», являющейся кавер-версией хита Фэтса Уоллера 1935 года. Сам Маккартни сказал: «Я работал с Дайаной Кролл и такими великими джазовыми музыкантами, как Джон Клэйтон. Это презентабельный, но в то же время очень интимный альбом. Он прекрасно подходит для прослушивания за вечерней чашкой чая после работы».
