Dolly Parton created the Rockstar album to justify her inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by recording an album of rock covers. She initially declined the honor because her career was built on country music rather than rock.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr appeared on Parton's version of Let It Be as surviving Beatles members. Pink, Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger, Peter Frampton, Rob Halford, Nikki Sixx, John 5, Ann Wilson, Linda Perry, and Miley Cyrus also contributed their talents to the sessions.
The lead single World on Fire arrived on the 11th of May 2023 and debuted at number thirteen on Billboards Rock Digital Song Sales on the 20th of May 2023. The song climbed to number one just one week later.
