The Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks released a new song called "The Lighthouse", which is her first original song in four years. The track was co-written with Magnus Birgersson and Vincent Villuis. Nicks talked about the song, saying: "I wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned. It seemed like overnight, people were saying 'what can we, as a collective force, do about this…'' For me, it was to write a song. It took a while because I was on the road. Then early one morning I was watching the news on TV and a certain newscaster said something that felt like she was talking to me, explaining what the loss of Roe v. Wade would come to mean. I wrote the song the next morning and recorded it that night." "That was September 6, 2022. I have been working on it ever since. I have often said to myself, 'This may be the most important thing I ever do. To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters ~ and the men that love them. This is an anthem," Stevie Nicks said.
