In a very unlikely pairing, Dolly Parton has teamed up with Motley Crue for a new version of the band’s 1985 hit “Home Sweet Home” — with a special thematic charity connection: a portion of the proceeds from the single will benefit Covenant House, which provides safe shelter, meals, hope and more to help youth experiencing homelessness.
Parton said, “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 bandmembers said in a statement, “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 Mötley fans around the world.
“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.”
The song will be featured on “From the Beginning,” a new singles collection arriving on September 12, 2025 via BMG, the same day that the band will kick off their 10-show residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. The tracklist appears below.
Parton’s autobiographical stage musical “Dolly: An Original Musical” will have its world premiere in Nashville next month, the first public stop on the way to a planned Broadway opening in 2026.
