Watch Dolly Parton and Mötley Crüe’s New ‘Home Sweet Home’ Video

Möt­ley Crüe and Dol­ly Par­ton have teamed up to record a new ver­sion of the band’s 1985 pow­er bal­lad “Home Sweet Home.” The new track appears on their upcom­ing sin­gles col­lec­tion From The Begin­ning, which arrives just in time for the launch of their Las Vegas res­i­den­cy at the Park MGM on Sep­tem­ber 12.

“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,” Möt­ley Crüe said in a state­ment. “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.”

They also released a new “Home Sweet Home” video that mix­es with new footage of Par­ton in the stu­dio with vin­tage clips of the Crüe, and infor­ma­tion about home­less youth and Covenant House.

A por­tion of the pro­ceeds from the song will ben­e­fit Covenant House, an orga­ni­za­tion that aides young peo­ple expe­ri­enc­ing home­less­ness. “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,” the band said. “We hope you’ll enjoy ‘Home Sweet Home’ fea­tur­ing Dol­ly Par­ton as much as Dol­ly and we enjoyed cre­at­ing it.”

This is far from the first time Dol­ly Par­ton has teamed up with rock icons. Her 2023 LP Rock­star fea­tured col­lab­o­ra­tions with Paul McCart­ney, Ringo Starr, Sting, Steve Per­ry, Steven Tyler, Ste­vie Nicks, Peter Framp­ton, Joan Jett, Rob Hal­ford, and Simon Le Bon. “It was an hon­or and a joy work­ing in the stu­dio on Möt­ley Crüe’s 40th Anniver­sary re-release of ‘Home Sweet Home,’ ” she said in a state­ment. “I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a clas­sic.”

Möt­ley Crüe, mean­while, have been off the road since Octo­ber 2024 as Vince Neil recov­ers from a vocal pro­ce­dure. It forced them to can­cel many shows, and delay their Vegas res­i­den­cy. “I’m tru­ly sor­ry,” Neil said in a state­ment at the time. “My health is my top pri­or­i­ty so I can bring you the awe­some shows you deserve, and I can’t wait to return to the stage. Thank you for all the well wish­es that keep reach­ing me. Your sup­port means more than you know.”

They have ten shows booked at the Park MGM in Vegas between Sep­tem­ber 12 and Octo­ber 3. They then head to Riv­iera Maya, Mex­i­co, on Novem­ber 7 to play the Rock the Tides Fes­ti­val on a bill that also includes Def Lep­pard, Bret Michaels, Extreme, and Liv­ing Colour.
