The song speaks about taking better care of the world. "What you gonna do when it all burns down? Fire, fire, burnin’ higher. Still got time to turn it all around…” she sings.
"This is a song I felt very inspired to write," Dolly said in a statement released earlier this week.

"So, I reached out to a lot of the friends who were on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with me when we were there those few days rehearsing."
The new album will feature the likes of Miley Cyrus, P!nk, and Elton John.
It comes out in November.
