Lyrics in the rocking, upbeat track include:
"Trying to write a tune you better hook me up to Zoom" and "way
too much TV it's lobotomizing me."
Jagger, who wrote the song a few weeks ago, teamed up with Foo
Fighters guitarist Dave Grohl virtually, who added his part from
Los Angeles.
"It's a song that I wrote about coming out of lockdown, with
some much needed optimism," said 77-year-old Jagger.
"It was all about coming out of all the things that I mention in
the verses. It's coming out of that, hopefully, into, you know,
a more optimistic frame of mind," he added.
The chorus promises, "we'll escape from these prison walls" and
"it's gonna be a garden of earthly delights."
Pubs started selling pints for drinking outside on Monday and
shops threw open their doors as England started to reopen after
three months of lockdown.
Grohl said recording the song with Jagger was "beyond a dream
come true."
"Just when I thought life couldn't get any crazier ... it's the
song of the summer, without a doubt!" he said.
