"Teardrops" is a single by George Harrison, released on 31 July 1981 in the UK.[1] It was the second single from the album Somewhere in England and reached number 51 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 102 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2][3] In Japan, it was released on 25 September.
Harrison did not include "Teardrops" on his original proposed track listing for Somewhere in England, but it was added, along with "All Those Years Ago" and two other songs, when the record label refused four of the songs Harrison originally wanted to include.[4]
Authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter compare "Teardrops"' feel and melody to Elton John, calling the song "probably the best of the toe-tappers that George composed for the revised Somewhere in England.[5]
