“I Played the Fool (Main Title Theme)” was quietly released to streaming services on March 8, followed by an official announcement by Watertower Music on March 9. Stipe shares credit for the song with super-producer Andrew Watt, known for his work with artists ranging from the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Iggy Pop to Lady Gaga, Post Malone and Justin Bieber.
The track features Watt and several other musicians who have previously performed on his productions—Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and former Red Hot Chili Peppers member Josh Klinghoffer on guitar and piano.
“Michael Stipe is a hero of mine. A chance to write a song with him was that of a dream…He is one of the true great songwriters of this lifetime and he did what only he could do on this song. He sets ‘Rooster’ off to the moon by making you laugh and cry at the same time with the best clapping tv theme song since Friends,” added Watt.
Stipe has been slowly releasing solo tracks over the last decade, with his last release, “Give Me a Hand,” featuring Gaelynn Lea, released as part of an EarthPercent x Earth Day 2023 compilation album. He also released a cover of “Sunday Morning,” featured on the 2021 album I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute to the Velvet Underground & Nico, as well as the originals “Your Capricious Soul,” “Drive to the Ocean,” and “No Time for Love Like Now” (with Big Red Machine) in 2019 and 2020, and is reportedly still at work on a long-awaited solo album.
