Rolling Stones Drop Surprise Single 'Who You Callin’ Crazy'

The Rolling Stones have treated fans to an unexpected gift with the surprise release of their new single, Who You Callin’ Crazy. The track, which premiered on BBC Radio 2’s Vernon Kay show, marks another chapter in the band’s recent creative resurgence. Frontman Mick Jagger even shared a personal voice note with Kay, expressing his excitement for listeners to hear the song for the first time. The single is a preview of the upcoming deluxe edition of their latest album, Foreign Tongues, set to drop on November 27 under the title Foreign Tongues, Loose Lips.

The new single is a lively, sax-driven number featuring jazz musician Courtney Pine. Pine’s solo adds a fresh, energetic twist to the Stones’ signature rock sound, blending their classic style with a modern edge. The track is one of five previously unreleased recordings that will appear on the deluxe edition. Other new additions include Where There’s A Will (featuring Steve Winwood on organ), Human Tide, She Still Comes Around, and Bad Luck Hideaway—a duet between Jagger and Keith Richards, originally released as a bonus track on the iTunes version of Foreign Tongues.

A Return to Form

The Rolling Stones’ Foreign Tongues, released in July, has been hailed as one of their strongest albums in decades. Produced by Andrew Watt—known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, and Paul McCartney—the album captures the band’s raw energy and vitality, proving that even after 60 years, they can still deliver rock ‘n’ roll at its finest. The deluxe edition, Foreign Tongues, Loose Lips, builds on this momentum, offering fans a deeper dive into the band’s creative process with five new tracks.
