"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" is a song composed by John Lennon and performed by The Beatles. It was released on June 1, 1967, as part of their album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." The song is a reprise of the album's opening track, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and serves as the penultimate track on the album. The song is a fast-paced, rock and roll version of the original "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" theme, with a heavier emphasis on guitar and drums. It features a call-and-response vocal arrangement between Lennon and Paul McCartney, with Lennon taking the lead on the verses and McCartney providing the backing vocals on the chorus. The song is divided into two distinct sections, with the first section featuring a guitar solo by George Harrison and the second section featuring a drum solo by Ringo Starr. The song ends with a repeated chorus of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," with Lennon and McCartney trading off lead vocals. The song's lyrics are a self-referential nod to the album's concept of The Beatles assuming the persona of a fictional band, with Lennon singing "We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, we hope you will enjoy the show." The song also references several of the album's previous tracks, including "With a Little Help from My Friends" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." Overall, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" is a high-energy, rock and roll tribute to the album's titular band and serves as a fitting conclusion to one of the most iconic albums in music history.
