We Can Make It

"We Can Make It" is the A-side to the third and final single from Luke Melvin's debut album Nature Will Take Everything. This single did not do as well as the other two and only peaked at number three in the UK, and only number nine in the USA.

Composition
"We Can Make It" was the third and final single from the album which peaked at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 9 on the US Billboard. It was about he and George Harrison who were being neglected by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and their compositions being taken down under by them both. Melvin said: "I wanted to convince John and McCartney that me and George were good. So I wrote the lyrics, then jammed out chords and made a riff. Then that was pretty much it."

Recording
The song was recorded in January 1970, with extensive overdubbing done in February and then mixing in March.
