L.A. Woman is the sixth studio album by The Doors, and the last recorded with lead singer Jim Morrison, who died in July 1971, less than 3 months after the album's release. Its style signified a return to blues, following in the footsteps of Morrison Hotel.Following the departure of their record producer Paul A. Rothchild (who, contrary to popular myth, loved «Riders on the Storm» but dismissed the group's differing style on «Love Her Madly» as «cocktail music») around November 1970, the band fell in to a state of depression and Jim Morrison was obviously bored with Sunset Sound, the studio in which their first two albums were recorded.

Bruce Botnick, their engineer, suggested they record at the Doors' workshop. He and the band began production on the album at The Doors Workshop in Los Angeles. Most of the tracks were recorded live, except for a few overdubbed keyboard parts by Ray Manzarek. Morrison recorded his singing in the studio's bathroom to get a fuller sound. Elvis Presley's bass player Jerry Scheff was brought in to play bass on the album, and rhythm guitarist Marc Benno was brought in so that Robbie Krieger could focus on playing lead guitar during live takes.

«Another Day» is a song recorded by Paul McCartney in New York in 1970, during the sessions for his album Ram. Although it was the first single of McCartney's solo career, «Another Day» was written and previewed during the Beatles' Let It Be sessions in 1969. It was released on 19 February 1971 in the UK, with «Oh Woman, Oh Why» as the B-side. Neither song was included on the Ram album.

Paul's wife, Linda McCartney, provided vocal harmonies on «Another Day».

The song was a hit in the United States and the United Kingdom, peaking at number five in the US and number two in the UK in March 1971.
