Dressed in ultra-casual jeans and a tracksuit, McCartney rocked the house with a rendition of the Beatles’ 1963 song “I Saw Her Standing There,” which he and John Lennon wrote.

In videos shared by Billboard and Watt himself, the “FourFiveSeconds” singer holds a microphone and plays the hit, laughing and grabbing the “Die with a Smile” producer’s shoulder as they perform together under a disco ball.

“So how could I dance with another? / When I saw her standing?” McCartney sang as the crowd – and the band members – went wild.
