According to Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger, who made an appearance on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 on Thursday, the song was penned by him and guitarist Keith Richards and recorded in early 2019 in Los Angeles. Hear it below.

“It wasn’t written for now, but it was just one of those odd things,” Jagger shared. “It was written about being in a place which was full of life but is now bereft of life so to speak…I was just jamming on the guitar and wrote it really quickly in like 10 minutes.”

Further in the interview, Jagger confirmed that the band is planning a new studio album. He revealed that the Rolling Stones were in a studio, working on new material before the coronavirus pandemic caused a widespread lockdown.

The rock legends released their most recent record Blues & Lonesome in 2016, but the record was comprised out of blues covers. Their latest album with original songs, A Bigger Bang, came in 2005 while they also presented two new songs, “Doom and Gloom” and “One More Shot” on the 2012 compilation release GRRR!.

Jagger explained that the reason why the band hasn’t put out a new original album for so long is that they strive for greatness.

“I don’t just want it to be a good album, I want it to be great” he said. “I’m very hard on myself. If I write something or if I write something with Keith Richards or whatever, it’s going to be great. It can’t just be good.”

Rolling Stones were focused more on tours in the recent decade and were scheduled to perform live in 15 cities in the United States this summer. However, the band recently announced that the tour is being postponed due to coronavirus pandemic and that the fans will be informed about new dates.

In a recent interview with Independent.ie, Jagger revealed he is writing new songs at the moment.

“I am writing at the moment,” said the 74 year old.

When asked whether he is preparing new music for his solo album or the Rolling Stones, Jagger replied: “I’m just writing. It is mostly for the Stones at the moment. I’m just writing. I don’t really think about what I have written, much. I just keep ploughing forward, really.”

Rolling Stones are currently in the middle of a tour across Europe, which will see the band playing dates in the UK, Germany, France, and Poland. And the band doesn’t intend to stop there, despite recent rumors about their retirement.

“I haven’t really thought about this set of gigs being our last tour, to be honest,” said Jagger while talking to The Sunday Post recently. “There is going to come a point when we don’t want to do it any more, for whatever reason – but I’m not thinking about that this summer.”

The band’s most recent studio release came out in 2016, when they presented an album of covers titled Blue & Lonesome. The album contained songs from artists like Memphis Slim, Buddy Johnson, Bukka White, and others. Blue & Lonesome received very positive reviews from the critics and debuted at number 4 at the US Billboard 200 charts, claiming the tops spot in more than 15 countries including the UK, Japan, and Germany. It also brought Rolling Stones a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, their third career Grammy.
