In 2015, McCartney was chosen to photograph Queen Elizabeth II as part of a campaign to celebrate the "longest-reigning British monarch in more than 1,000 years". It was announced in January 2021 that McCartney would direct a documentary about Abbey Road Studios. She said, "Some of my earliest memories as a young child come from time spent at Abbey Road [...] I've long wanted to tell the story of this historic place." As well as her father Paul McCartney, the documentary would feature interviews with Jimmy Page, Kate Bush, Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher, Pink Floyd, John Williams, Celeste, Elton John, Giles Martin, and Shirley Bassey. McCartney said, "What I wanted from the interviews was to drill down into how those musicians really feel about Abbey Road. 'Do you really care about Abbey Road? It's a building and you recorded here, but whatever. Do you really care?' And I think from the interviews, you can really see they are thinking fondly about it." The documentary, If These Walls Could Sing, was created as the centrepiece of Abbey Road Studios' 90th anniversary celebrations in November 2022.
