"I Don't Know" sounds like a song that was pulled from the "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" era. It is a melancholy song that uses metaphors to describe feelings. Said Paul in an interview with New Music Express: "I got crooooows at my window, my mama left me. It's that kind of thing, you know. So I just thought that was a good way to start: crows at the window, dogs barking at the door, it's like a Swedish film, kind of a black and white...all of life's piling in on me. Music is often a really good thing, if you're feeling a bit pissed off. Sometimes you'll take to a drumkit and thrash it, sometimes you go to the piano and start hammering the feelings into a song." The song would become the first single released from "Egypt Station." Paul chose "Come On To Me" which turned the single into a double A-sided hit. It was released on June 20, 2018 on Capitol Records.

"Get Started" has beautiful harmonies backing up Paul's vocals. An acoustic guitar is used smoothly throughout on the song but breaks into madness as it ends up into a "Helter Skelter" type-of-romp complete with heavy metal guitars and drumming. "Get Started" has a certain freshness to it that illustrates Paul's innate ability to write superb pop songs and thereby remaining above the status quo of other pop groups and composers.

With "People Want Peace" Paul reinforces the optimistic ideals of the late 60's peace movement, i.e., "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles or "Give Peace A Chance" by John Lennon. The arrangement here is interesting as Paul uses drum fills on the track that sound similar in style to the hit song "Let 'Em In" from the "Wings At The Speed of Sound" album. A harpsichord, cello, piano are added along with a Gospel-like choir which begs us all to solve world tensions if we only would sing in our hearts: "People Want Peace." We'll let Paul McCartney have the final word about that in this review:
