RecordingThe song was recorded on the rooftop of the Beatles' Apple Corps headquarters in London on the 30th of January, 1969, as part of their iconic rooftop concert.

Song CreationIn reference to creating "Dig a Pony," Lennon once described the song as "a piece of garbage" with meaningless lyrics, expressing his dissatisfaction with it. Essentially he stated it was a bunch of unrelated phrases stuck together.
|
Band ControversyThe tension between band members during the recording of "Let It Be" was noticeable. Band member George Harrison briefly quit during the recording sessions, which was linked to factors including a disagreement over whether to perform live again, a proposal that resulted in the rooftop concert.

Lack of AirplayDespite being part of the band's final album, "Dig a Pony" did not receive much airplay on mainstream radio, perhaps due to Lennon's later dismissal of the song.
