"You Won't See Me" is a song originally recorded by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. It was written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The lyrics address McCartney's troubled relationship with Jane Asher and her desire to pursue her career as a stage and film actress. The Beatles recorded the song during what Mark Lewisohn describes as a "marathon" final recording session for Rubber Soul, to ensure the album's pre-Christmas release.
The Beatles' version of the track was not issued as a single, and the charting version of "You Won't See Me" was a 1974 recording of the song by Anne Murray. This version reached number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. It also hit number 5 in Canada.
