Some reunions just hit different, and this one has fans everywhere reaching for the tissues. Paul McCartney has released “Home to Us,” a brand-new duet with his former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr, marking the second single off McCartney’s upcoming album, “The Boys of Dungeon Lane.”
From a Jam Session to a Full-Blown Single
The story behind the song is almost as sweet as the track itself. “Home to Us” reportedly started back in 2024 as a casual jam session between Ringo Starr and producer Andrew Watt, who happened to live nearby. What began as two friends messing around eventually turned into a full collaboration, with McCartney joining in to help shape it into the tender, nostalgic duet fans are hearing now.
A First New Solo Album in Over Five Years
“Home to Us” is just one piece of a much bigger moment for McCartney. The song is featured on “The Boys of Dungeon Lane,” his upcoming 18th solo studio album and his first collection of new original material since 2020’s “McCartney III.” The album leans heavily into nostalgia, with McCartney reportedly revisiting formative memories from his early life and Liverpool roots throughout the record.
The album’s lead single, “Days We Left Behind,” dropped back in March, and reportedly features a guest list that includes Ringo Starr, Nancy McCartney, Chrissie Hynde, and Sharleen Spiteri.
Why This Reunion Means So Much
For longtime fans, hearing Paul and Ringo on a song together always carries extra weight — it’s a living thread back to one of the most iconic musical partnerships in history. Decades after the Beatles disbanded, moments like this remind everyone why their friendship, and their music, still resonates so deeply.
If “Home to Us” is any indication of what’s coming, “The Boys of Dungeon Lane” might just be one of the most heartfelt releases of the year.
