"I had no idea what was going to happen," McCartney tells the outlet."I didn't want it to be at his house or my house, because it could be awkward if one of us wanted to leave.

But months later I got a song with Rihanna on it and I said,"Where am I?" I didn't recognize it because they changed the key [on the guitar riff]. I thought that record was great.
