But it isn’t John Lennon and Paul McCartney you’ll hear singing on the new single.

Instead, it is the former Beatles’ sons, James McCartney and Sean Ono Lennon, who teamed up for the new song.

James McCartney, 46 is the youngest son of Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda. Sean Ono Lennon, 48, is the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, USA Today reported. John Lennon died in 1980.

Both were born after the famous band called it quits, CNN reported.

James McCartney teased the song on social media on April 2, writing “I had a vision as a child in Scotland, on what was a lovely summer’s day. Letting go, I saw my true love and saviour in my mind’s eye. ‘Primrose Hill’ is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding that person.”

The pair, much like their famous fathers, co-wrote the song, “Primrose Hill,” which was named for a park in north London, CNN reported.

This isn’t the first foray into music for the musicians. James McCartney recorded with both of his parents and did a few solo records. Sean Ono Lennon has also recorded solo albums and has been a member of several bands, Variety reported.

The duo got some help promoting the new song from James’ father, who wrote, “My son James has a new song out called ‘Primrose Hill’ - check it out!”

Fans of the song can be part of the latest generation of the Beatles. James McCartney is running a contest that will allow people to submit videos that capture romance, with “Primrose Hill” playing in the background. They have to be submitted by Friday and may be part of the upcoming music video. For more information, visit his website.
