<p>Before football star Erling Haaland was smashing match-winning goals left, right, and centre, he was a teenager rapping with his friends under the pseudonym Lyng. Fellow Scandinavian DJ Kygo released this refined version of Haaland&rsquo;s Norwegian track after the country&rsquo;s football team knocked favourites Brazil out of the competition. We&rsquo;re hooked. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Perhaps, it&rsquo;s got to do with the Wimbledon season. We found ourselves dialling back to this classic by the Fab Four. The lyrics are laced with nostalgia, and yes, you&rsquo;ll soon realise, it has nothing to do with strawberries. But we &nbsp;suggest you give it a listen this weekend, and then read the backstory about how John Lennon wrote this track.&nbsp;</p>
