Dungeon Lane is a road in the Speke area of Liverpool, and the album is generally inspired by McCartney's childhood memories in the area. The lane leads from Speke to Oglet Shore on the Mersey, an area that was popular with birdwatchers. Before the album's announcement, McCartney teased the album using bird emojis on his social media.
