"Imagine" is a song by English musician John Lennon from his 1971 album of the same name. The best-selling single of his solo career, the lyrics encourage listeners to imagine a world of peace, without materialism, without borders separating nations and without religion. Shortly before his death, Lennon said that much of the song's lyrics and content came from his wife, Yoko Ono, and in 2017, she received a co-writing credit.
"Imagine" has sold over 1.7 million copies in the UK. Over 200 artists have performed or covered the song, including Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Joan Baez, Lady Gaga, Elton John and Diana Ross. After "Imagine" was performed at the 2012 Summer Olympics, the song returned to the UK Top 40, peaking at number 18, and was performed as the theme song at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics. The song remains controversial, as it has been since its release, due to its call to imagine "no religion either".
