Lainey Wilson has new music out, including a cover of a Beatles classic. Wilson just dropped a three-song exclusive Apple Music Session EP, which includes a cover of the Beatles’ “Come Together,” Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved,” plus a reimagined version of her song “Devil Don’t Go There.”

“The first C2C that we ever did over here [in London], we played that song,” Wilson recalls on The Kelleigh Bannen Show on Apple Music Country, speaking of “Come Together.” “And I remember it was coming out or either going into a song of mine called ‘High on Somethin’.’ It was a very similar groove, and I feel like I was influenced by that song when writing ‘High on Somethin’. I just remember everybody getting fired up. We were trying to make it our own. I remember being on stage, and we had so much fun with it.”

When Wilson was in London in 2024, she and her band got to record a song at the historic Abbey Road. To release a song in honor of the Beatles became a way for Wilson to pay homage to their legacy, while also showing off the skills of her talented band.

 

“Last year when we were here [in London], we got to record a song at Abbey Road, and just really felt that energy in the building,” Wilson says. “And just trying to wrap your head around how influential the Beatles really are and what they have done to every single genre. It’s mind-boggling, and you can’t completely wrap your head around it. But this was just our way as a band. We like to jam. They are jammers. They are musicians, musicians, musicians, and we have so much fun going off the rails and just jamming. And two, I just want everybody to see how incredible they are, and how good they are.”

Wilson has a Top 25 hit with “Somewhere Over Laredo,” from her next album. She also just released the song’s video, which marked a career first for her.

“I had the time of my life doing it,” Wilson tells People. “I was doing all kinds of things, pretending to be falling through the air, the sky, and all of these crazy things that I had never done before.”

“I had not had the opportunity to make a video that I felt like deserved that kind of trippiness,” she continues. “When you think about The Wizard of Oz, and you think about the ‘Yellow Brick Road,’ of course, you think of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow,’ and this [song] is an interpolation of that. It’s a way for us to tip our hat to that and acknowledge how timeless of a song that is. It was important for me to kind of draw the parallel between the songs.”

Wilson’s next album was started before she even released Whirlwind in 2024.

“I feel like how it happens, it takes forever for a record to come out,” Wilson tells Bannen. “And then by the time it does and it’s out for a little bit, you’ve already lived a lot of life to the point, to where you have so many more stories to tell. So I think it’s important to start putting those stories down before the other one comes out.”

Wilson is headlining her Whirlwind World Tour this year. Her Apple Music Sessions EP is available at Apple.com. Find “Somewhere Over Laredo” and all of Wilson’s music and upcoming shows at LaineyWilson.com.
