"Figure of Eight" is a song from Paul McCartney's 1989 album, Flowers in the Dirt.

Single version

After the completion of the album, McCartney recorded a new version for single release, using his newly formed touring band.[1][2] The new version is unusual in running nearly two minutes longer than the album version, rather than following the typical radio edit pattern of shortening the track for single release. Some versions of the single included an edit of the new version.

Despite this quirk, the single — which was released in seven formats including a 7", a 12", a cassingle, a CD and a 3" CD single — reached number 42 on the UK singles chart[3][4] and number 92 on the Billboard Hot 100.[5]

On various editions the single was labeled "Figure Of Eight" / "Ou Est le Soleil?" making it as double A-side.

Other versions

"Figure of Eight" was the opening song throughout McCartney's 1989–1990 world concert tour. A version recorded in Rotterdam on 10 November 1989 appeared on the live album from the tour, Tripping the Live Fantastic.[6]

Music video

The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan and shows footage from the concert at Hallenstadion, Zurich on October 29, 1989.[7]
