==Writing and recording==
According to Peter Brown in his book ''The Love You Make'', the song was written in a "creative outburst" following Lennon and Yoko Ono going "cold turkey" from their brief heroin addictions.〔Brown, Peter. ''The Love You Make: An Insider's Story of The Beatles''. McGraw-Hill, 1983. New American Library, 2002. 331.〕 However Lennon's personal assistant in the late 1970s Fred Seaman claimed otherwise, stating that Lennon confided in him that the song was actually about a severe case of food poisoning suffered by John and Yoko after eating Christmas leftovers "cold turkey". Lennon thought people would laugh at him if they knew the truth about the song's origin, so he said it was inspired by his recent heroin withdrawal.〔Seaman, Frederic. (1991). ''The Last Days of John Lennon: A Personal Memoir''.〕 Brown states that Lennon presented the song to Paul McCartney as a potential single by The Beatles, as they were finishing recording for their ''Abbey Road'' album, but was refused and released it as a Plastic Ono Band single with sole writing credits to him.〔
"Cold Turkey" was the first song Lennon wrote for which he took sole credit; his previous compositions, including his first single release, "Give Peace a Chance",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Lennon - Give peace A Chance )〕 were attributed to the Lennon–McCartney partnership, although the credit for "Give Peace a Chance" was later changed to Lennon alone.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GIVE PEACE A CHANCE (Legal Title) BMI Work #476096 )〕 It was recorded in Abbey Road Studio 2, and features Eric Clapton.〔 There are other versions besides the single, several of which are acoustic, and a live version included on Live in New York City that features Ono adding vocalizations.
