Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a song by English rock band The Beatles, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney [1] for the group's 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.[2]

According to its creators, the inspiration for the song was a drawing by John Lennon's son, Julian, which Julian called "Lucy — in the Sky with Diamonds". The song sparked controversy when released, and was banned by the BBC because of the supposed reference to the drug LSD,[citation needed] with the first letter of each noun in the title spelling LSD; Lennon always denied the supposed LSD reference.
