 While the term "dark horse" had long been applied to Harrison due to his success as a solo artist following the Beatles' break-up in 1970, commentators recognise the song as Harrison's rebuttal to a number of possible detractors: those reviewers who criticised the spiritual content of his 1973 album "Living in the Material World"; his first wife, Pattie Boyd; and his former bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
