Today, Mick Jagger announced he has co-written, recorded and performed the theme song for the upcoming Apple Original series Slow Horses due to release on April 1, 2022. The song is titled “Strange Game” and was created by Jagger and Academy Award-nominated film composer Daniel Pemberton.

Slow Horses is based on a series of novels by Mick Herron and stars Academy-Award-winning actor Gary Old Man. The show follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve in a “dumping ground” department of MI5. The premiere will see the first two episodes of the six-part series which also stars Kristen Scott Thomas, Jonathan Pryce, Olivia Cook and Jack Lowden.

“Strange Game” encapsulates the shows’ strange, dark and mischievous premise through Jagger’s eery vocals and highlights the narrative with lyrics that cron with a yearning to “dance with the big boys again.”

“Working with Mick Jagger has been one of the most exciting collaborations of my professional career. I think we have managed to create an incredibly unique and original titles theme and I cannot wait for the rest of the world to hear it,” said Pemberton in a press release. “We always wanted a song to set the tone for the show and there was only ever one name in my mind – Mick Jagger. Hearing the track for the first time was utterly thrilling. Mick’s lyrics and performance have totally nailed the mood of Slow Horses, with all the humor and swagger I dreamed of.”

Pemberton was nominated for an Oscar in 2021 for his work with the singer Celeste on the song “Hear My Voice” and has credits as a film composer on Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, The Trial Of The Chicago 7, Oceans 8 and Yesterday.
