Mötley Crüe have teamed up with country music legend Dolly Parton for reimagined version of their power ballad “Home Sweet Home“.
Mötley Crüe shared in a joint statement: “‘Home Sweet Home’ was first released in 1985 as a single from our Theatre Of Pain album. For an icon like Dolly Parton to sing on a song that has not only meant so much to us but to all the fans through the years, is a career high that means a lot to us. We couldn’t be happier to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ‘Home Sweet Home’ in this special way, and we’re excited to share this version of the song with all the Dolly and Motley fans around the world.”
A portion of proceeds from Mötley Crüe and Parton’s new “Home Sweet Home” will benefit Covenant House, a nonprofit organization that provides safe shelter, meals, hope and more to youth who are experiencing homelessness. The band added: “that we were able to unite with Dolly to raise awareness for homeless youth and the amazing work of Covenant House, which provides them safe housing and care, makes it even more special. We hope you’ll enjoy ‘Home Sweet Home’ featuring Dolly Parton as much as Dolly and we enjoyed creating it.”
Dolly Parton also shared, “It was an honor and a joy working in the studio on Mötley Crüe’s 40th Anniversary re-release of ‘Home Sweet Home’. I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a classic.”
The new version of ‘Home Sweet Home’ is included on Mötley Crüe’s previously-announced singles collection “From The Beginning”, set to drop on September 12, 2025 — the same day the band kicks off their Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. The From the Beginning collection spans four decades, with the compilation tracing the band’s storied career from their start on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. It includes the hit songs “Kickstart My Heart,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” and “Shout at the Devil,” featuring 19 tracks – with the vinyl expanded to include “Afraid” and last year’s “Canceled.”
