This George Harrison composition served as the title track and lead single from his 1974 Apple Records album. Released in North America, it achieved top-20 status on the US charts but became Harrison's first single to fail charting in Britain upon its February 1975 release there. The term "dark horse" had previously been associated with Harrison due to his successful solo career following the Beatles' 1970 dissolution.
Lyrics ↗What the lyrics are about
The song employs the phrase "dark horse" to reference someone engaged in secret romantic affairs, though some commentators suggest it may address criticisms from his ex-wife, album reviewers, and former bandmates.
