Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks is promoting her new pro-abortion song, calling it possibly the “most important” of her career, according to a new Daily Wire report..
At 76, Nicks released “The Lighthouse” on Friday, her first solo single in four years. She wrote it in response to the 2022 Dobbs Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
“I find it very sad, at 76 years old, I had to see Roe v. Wade taken away,” Nicks told People in an email interview. “Two years ago, when I realized the consequences of women’s rights that are vanishing, I watched a lot of news, and I was like a sponge — it just went into me.”
“One morning I woke up… which, I never write when I wake up in the morning, and all of a sudden went, ‘I have my scars, I have my scars,’ so I just grabbed my notebook, and I started writing the whole thing,” she continued. “It was a long-form poem, and I didn’t know what kind of song that would be. I found an instrumental that I loved and within two or three days, I had recorded the song. I never redid the vocal — it’s an original vocal — and it’s taken me two years.”

Nicks mentioned that several people in the music industry, including Sheryl Crow, contributed to the development of the song over the past two years until she felt it was “perfect” for release, telling the outlet: “All the stories that we tell about the necessity for women’s healthcare and the necessity for a safe and legal abortion option for women is absolutely necessary.”
“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,” she shared on X. “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.”
