Paul McCartney greets the crowd at the start of his “One on One” tour in 2016 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. McCartney released a pair of songs Wednesday ahead of a new solo album.

“We need to find a place where we can be alone/ To spend some special time without an interruption.”

That’s Paul McCartney in “Come On to Me,” one of a pair of songs the Beatles legend released Wednesday ahead of a new solo album due in September.

Set over a swaggering rock beat (and punctuated by sharp brass blasts), “Come On to Me” makes good on its title, with McCartney play-by-playing his response to someone who’s evidently expressed a certain interest in him.

“I saw you flash a smile that seemed to me to say/ You wanted so much more than casual conversation,” he sings.

Here in the MeToo era, one girds oneself for what might come next from a 76-year-old show biz veteran.

But it turns out Sir Paul is pretty respectful. The chorus of “Come On to Me” has him clarifying, more or less, that this person actually wants to leave a party with him.

McCartney’s other new tune, “I Don’t Know,” suggests the aftermath of rejection.

It’s a moody ballad with “Hey Jude”-ish piano in which he’s bumming around the house, wondering what he’s doing wrong.

“I try to love you best as I can,” he sings, “But you know that I’m only a man.”

Awww. (Or maybe: Awww?)

“Come On to Me” and “I Don’t Know” are the first tastes from “Egypt Station,” McCartney’s first studio album since 2013’s “New.”
