Dolly Parton has celebrated her birthday with the release of the single, ‘Don’t Make Me Come Down There’.
Parton who is currently working on her forthcoming rock album ‘Rockstar’, turnes 77 years of age.
The track itself, is taken from a dream that Parton had.
In the dream, God is standing at the top of a mountain urging Parton to wake up, saying ‘Don’t Make Me Come Down There’.

“things would come to me” – Parton Explains
Announcing the new single via her Instagram account, the singer released this statement.
“I got up, I started writing this song over a period of weeks, months”, she said. “I got up, I started writing this song over a period of weeks, months”.
The track’s lyrics show Parton recounting this amazing experience.
“Don’t make me have to come down there / My children, you had best beware / If you don’t pay attention, consequences will be dire / Don’t make me have to come down there”.
“Politics, earthquakes, erratic weather / Pandemics, war, and hate,” Parton sings on its bridge. “Still, you’d rather turn a deaf ear, a blind eye / I am wondering whether I should take my Bible belt and whip you into shape”.
Earlier this week, Parton confirmed that household names including Stevie Nicks, Steven Perry, Paul McCartney and Steven Tyler are to feature on this album.
“Stevie Nicks… we just finished our song last night”, she said.
“I’m even gonna have Cher on [the album],” Parton added. “I’ve been getting a song for her, we’ve been trying to get the right thing together. But that’s going to be a big thrill I think”.
