Архив новостей | Русская версия
Multi-Grammy Award-winning Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees AEROSMITH, British multi-platinum, Grammy nominated artist Yungblud and Grammy Award-winning American country singer, songwriter and actress Lainey Wilson today shared "Wild Woman (Lainey Wilson Version)", an electric new version of "Wild Woman" from AEROSMITH and Yungblud's collaborative EP "One More Time", out now via Capitol Records. Built on the original track's blues-infused foundation and briskly strummed chords, the new take showcases Wilson's bold vocal performance, adding a distinct country edge that complements the song's rock foundation.
Speaking about the new version of "Wild Woman", Yungblud shares: "I'm really hyped to have Lainey Wilson jump on this record with us. I have been a fan of her for a while. Her life story is truly inspirational. With this record, we really needed a female vocalist who could carry it with the level of authenticity that Lainey embodies. We needed a wild woman and we for sure got one!"

The song's release follows the breakthrough chart debut of "One More Time", which entered the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 — one of the top rock debuts of the year — extending AEROSMITH's six-decade streak of Top 10 Billboard 200 entries and delivering Yungblud's first-ever Top 10 on the chart. With nearly 40,000 first-week units, the EP also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums, as well as No. 1 on Indie Store Album Sales, No. 2 on Vinyl Albums, and No. 3 on Top Album Sales, and opened at No. 1 in the U.K. — AEROSMITH's first-ever U.K. No. 1 in their 49-year chart history and Yungblud's second U.K. No. 1 of the year — while landing in the Top 5 across multiple territories including Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
"Wild Woman (Lainey Wilson Version)" took shape after Steven Tyler and Lainey Wilson performed "Dream On" together at Tyler's sixth annual Jam For Janie benefit in February 2025, held in support of Janie's Fund, his initiative aiding young women and girls who have survived abuse. As the "One More Time" sessions progressed, Tyler and Yungblud invited Wilson to bring her voice to the track, with Joe Perry returning to the studio to craft a new guitar part for this version.
The collaboration arrives during a banner year for Wilson, who is fresh off of hosting the 2025 CMA Awards, where she was the first woman to host the show solo since 1991, and took home three trophies including "Entertainer Of The Year". With three nominations at the upcoming Grammy Awards, Wilson was recently named to the TIME100 Next 2025 list of influential rising stars alongside Gracie Abrams and Becky G, and headlined the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Her single "Somewhere Over Laredo" is No. 1 at country radio and Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Marking AEROSMITH's first new music in more than twelve years, the five-track "One More Time" collection — produced by Matt Schwartz — rallies two generations of rock 'n' roll across four original songs co-written by AEROSMITH and Yungblud. With Tyler and Yungblud dueting on every track and Joe Perry's signature guitar driving the sound, the project was introduced with the lead single "My Only Angel" (and accompanying visual) which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, remained in the Top 10 for three weeks, and landed across multiple rock and alternative charts. Following the original, AEROSMITH and Yungblud shared "My Only Angel (Desert Road Version)" , a stripped-back reinterpretation featuring a special guest performance from Grammy Award winner Steve Martin on banjo and released alongside a companion visual.
The EP also includes the original version of "Wild Woman", alongside "Problems", a cinematic, widescreen rocker, and "A Thousand Days", a reflective ballad that pairs Yungblud's raw delivery with Tyler's soulful response. The collection closes with a newly remixed 2025 version of the AEROSMITH classic "Back In The Saddle", amplifying the original's power with Yungblud's grit and Tyler's unmistakable wail.
The announcement of "One More Time" and release of "My Only Angel" followed Tyler, Perry and Yungblud's September 7 performance honoring the legendary Ozzy Osbourne with a medley of his greatest hits at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards.
Yungblud kicked off the tribute with Osbourne's "Crazy Train" before slowing things down with a cover of BLACK SABBATH's "Changes". Tyler then took the stage to sing Osbourne's hit ballad "Mama, I'm Coming Home", accompanied by Perry on guitar. Yungblud returned to the mic to duet with Tyler on the tune, which ended with pyrotechnics and Yungblud shouting into the microphone, "Ozzy forever!"
At the July 5 "Back To The Beginning" concert, Yungblud sang a version of "Changes", backed by EXTREME's Nuno Bettencourt on guitar, ANTHRAX's Frank Bello on bass, SLEEP TOKEN's II on drums and BLACK SABBATH/OZZY OSBOURNE touring keyboardist Adam Wakeman on keys. The original version of "Changes" appeared on SABBATH's fourth album, "Vol. 4", released in 1972.
