Aerosmith, Yungblud and Lainey Wilson Release New Version of Wild Woman: An Unexpected Alliance of Rock, Alternative and Country
Legendary band Aerosmith has released an expanded version of the track Wild Woman, recorded together with British alternative artist Yungblud and ACM Award–winning country star Lainey Wilson. The updated song became the most striking addition to their joint release, and Wilson’s involvement turned the composition into a cross-genre experiment that has already attracted attention from fans of various music styles.
Originally, Wild Woman appeared on the recently released EP One More Time, which became Aerosmith’s first release in 13 years. The original version featured Steven Tyler and Yungblud, but the musicians were searching for a female voice capable of “strengthening the emotional core of the song.” According to Yungblud, they needed “a truly wild energy that only an artist with powerful life experience can bring.” That is why he contacted Lainey Wilson personally — a conversation he later shared on social media.
Wilson’s participation made the composition more layered and expressive. Her heartfelt vocals blended organically with the rock-alternative foundation, while the country tone added character and depth. This move highlights Aerosmith and Yungblud’s desire to push genre boundaries and create music that can unite different audiences.
The release of the updated Wild Woman continued the collaborative line started on the EP One More Time, which also features an alternative version of My Only Angel with Yungblud and actor Steve Martin. Thanks to such unexpected partnerships, the project quickly became one of the most talked-about musical events of the season.
Now, the new version of Wild Woman is rapidly gaining popularity, and fans note that Lainey Wilson’s presence has added freshness, emotion, and a vivid contrast to Aerosmith’s signature sound. To emphasize the universality of the composition, listeners describe it as “a bridge between eras and genres, ” combining classic rock, modern alternative, and authentic country.
These collaborations confirm that even after decades of creativity, Aerosmith can still surprise, and music remains a place where diverse directions meet. The updated Wild Woman is a vivid example of how rock legends, young alternative artists, and country performers can create genuinely vibrant and in-demand tracks.
