Ringo Starr gathered a truly "all-starr" collection of guests for his new solo track "Here's To The Nights."

Embedded below, the track is the first preview to Starr's upcoming EP, Zoom In, which is due out March 19, 2021. Written by Diane Warren, the track features backing vocals from Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh, Sheryl Crow, Jenny Lewis, Lenny Kravitz, Chris Stapleton, Yola, Ben Harper, Finneas, Eric Burton and Corinne Bailey Rae.

In addition to Starr, who played drums on the track, other musicians that provided instrumentation include Steve Lukather, Benmont Tench, Bruce Sugar, Nathan East, Jim Cox, Charlie Bisharat and Jacob Braun.

In a statement on the song, Starr said, "When Diane presented this song to me I loved the sentiment of it. This is the kind of song we all want to sing along to, and it was so great how many wonderful musicians joined in. I wanted it out in time for New Years’ because it feels like a good song to end a tough year on. So here’s to the nights we won’t remember and the friends we won’t forget – and I am wishing everyone peace and love for 2021."
