"How?" is a song from John Lennon's second solo album Imagine, released in 1971. Lennon recorded "How?" on 25 May 1971 at Ascot Sound Studios, during the sessions for his Imagine album. String overdubs took place on 4 July 1971 at the Record Plant, in New York City.[1]

Far Out critic Tim Coffman rated it as Lennon's 7th greatest deep cut, saying "Following none of the conventional structures of a pop tune, [it] features Lennon leaving questions unanswered to his audience, wondering if he will ever be able to properly love again if he doesn’t understand the concept of love itself."[2] Coffman notes that "the song’s ending provides an optimistic solution to his problems."[2]
