‘What’s My Name’ is the final song on Ringo Starr’s 20th solo studio album, 2019’s What’s My Name.

It was written by Colin Hay, a member of the All-Starr Band.

I do that on stage every night. I introduce the band and then I would say, ‘Well, so I don’t feel left out, what’s my name?’ and the audience would yell ‘Ringo!’…

Six years ago [Colin Hay wrote it] and he never told me. I only found out halfway through this album. Somebody said, ‘Have you heard that song Colin wrote called ‘What’s my Name’?’ ‘No.’ So I called Colin and it took him two days to find it. He came with it and I said, ‘Wow, we love this. Let’s do it.’ And that’s how we did it.
