News Outlander Listen to Annie Lennox’s Version of Outlander’s Theme Song Lennox brings her talents to “The Skye Boat Song” for the show’s eighth and final season By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on December 17, 2025 Photo: Starz Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: Starz We have one more season in which Starz’s Outlander will sing me a song of a lass that is gone, and for that final season, Academy Award and four-time Grammy winner Annie Lennox will perform the show’s opening title sequence. The song that has graced Outlander’s opening credits since its first season in 2014 is “The Skye Boat Song,” a 19th-century Jacobite lament. Composer Bear McCreary created the first arrangement, and season seven saw Sinéad O’Connor give her own take on the theme. (You can listen to every single opening sequence for Outlander, in fact, on this YouTube playlist Starz has helpfully compiled.) “I’ve loved and sung ‘The Skye Boat Song’ since I was a young girl growing up in Aberdeen,” Lennox said in a stateament. “It represents such an iconic part of Scottish culture and history and it’s a real honor to have been asked to record it for Outlander’s final season.” “Providing musical support for Claire’s emotional journey through time in the series Outlander has been an unforgettable journey for me as well,” added McCreary. “More than a decade ago, I produced a demo of ‘The Skye Boat Song’ sung by my wife, Raya Yarbrough, that would go on to become the main title theme for a series beloved by fans around the world. For the eighth and final season, there was only one singer I hoped to work with to craft a satisfying conclusion to this musical arc: the legendary Annie Lennox. I was delighted that Annie recognized the depth of the series’ narrative and channeled that into her heartfelt performance. The score for season eight is the culmination of more than a decade of work, and I am excited for fans to experience the final season, our new main title, and other musical surprises ahead.” You can listen to Lennox’s rendition below, and head to Starz starting on March 6, 2026, with new episodes premiering weekly on Fridays.
