Aerosmith, Yungblud, and Steve Martin Collaborate on “My Only Angel (Desert Road Version)” - Out Now
AEROSMITH + YUNGBLUD SHARE “MY ONLY ANGEL (DESERT ROAD VERSION)”
Featuring a special guest performance from GRAMMY® Award winner Steve Martin on banjo, the song follows the breakout debut of “My Only Angel,” which entered at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart!
LOS ANGELES, CA – OCTOBER 24, 2025 – Multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inductees Aerosmith and British multi-platinum, award-winning artist Yungblud today shared “My Only Angel (Desert Road Version),” a stripped-back reinterpretation of the lead single from their upcoming collaborative EP One More Time, out November 21 via Capitol Records.
Inspired by the original track’s emotional core, the band and Yungblud returned to the studio to explore its more vulnerable side. During the session, Tyler—a longtime admirer of GRAMMY® Award-winning musician Steve Martin—imagined the distinctive sound of a banjo bringing the song to a close. He reached out to Martin, who accepted the invitation and recorded his part remotely. The addition gives the new version its defining final moment: a soulful ending that trades the drive of the original for a grounded, textured feel, with Martin’s standout banjo solo carrying the song to its finish.
