Watch Stevie Nicks Illuminate Anthemic New Song ‘The Lighthouse’ On ‘Kimmel’

Veteran rock vocalist Stevie Nicks was the musical guest on Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. The two-time Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee commanded the late-night talk show’s stage by performing her women’s right anthem, “The Lighthouse.”

Nicks, who was inducted into the Rock Hall as a member of Fleetwood Mac and again as a solo artist, released “The Lighthouse” in September. The track was Nicks’ first new music since releasing “Show Them The Way” in 2020.

Upon its release, Nicks shared a statement detailing the circumstances that led to her writing the new song. Nicks described the inspiration behind the “anthem,” stating:

“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.”
