Covered In You

“Covered In You” is a track from the 2026 album “Foreign Tongues” by the Rolling Stones. It features Paul McCartney on bass.

If you’re working with the Stones, they’ve got the Stones sound, so I think you would be looking to get that sound. And it’s natural to them – it’s the way they sound. I worked on a track on their new album, and it was great to do. You sit down and the noise you’re hearing, the record you’re making, it’s the Stones. After the day at the studio, people said, “How was it?” It was great! I mean, I was a session man with the Stones. (Laughs) I really enjoyed that, and it sounds like a Stones record.

And Paul McCartney plays bass on ‘Covered In You’?

Yes, he did that on the same session as he did ‘Bite My Head Off’ for ‘Hackney Diamonds’. The new tune is more of a funk bass part.

Paul told us that he was “really chuffed” to be on a Stones album – how was he in the studio?

It was very easy. Obviously, I’ve known Paul for ages. He’s not a stranger, but he’s never played bass with us before. It’s a different thing, you know. I said to Andy [Watt], ‘Is he gonna be into this because it’s a punk tune and I want overdriven bass. It’s gonna be simple, no mucking about.’ And Paul did exactly what was needed in, like, 10 minutes.
