The Rolling Stones are covering Amy Winehouse. Ronnie Wood confirmed it on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He revealed that the band’s upcoming album “Foreign Tongues” will include a version of Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good.” Music fans are already buzzing. Honestly? This one is exciting.
Amy Winehouse‘s official Instagram account spread the news: “Recently, Ronnie Wood revealed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that on the upcoming Rolling Stones album ‘Foreign Tongues’ they have covered Amy’s song ‘You Know I’m No Good’ 🖤”
“You Know I’m No Good” came out in 2006 and quickly became one of Winehouse’s most recognized songs. It showed off her raw, jazzy soul style. Nothing else on the radio at the time felt quite like it. It was cool. It was different. And it left a real mark on music.
The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is one of late-night’s biggest platforms. Wood choosing to make this announcement there signals that the Stones are treating this cover as a real moment, not just a footnote on a tracklist.
Hearing the Rolling Stones take on that song is a genuinely exciting prospect. The Stones have great instincts about which songs to cover. They’ve put their own spin on blues classics and soul tracks over the decades. Choosing Winehouse’s material for “Foreign Tongues” says a lot about how much they respect her legacy.
Ronnie Wood has been part of the Rolling Stones since 1975. His musicianship and taste have shaped some of the band’s best work over the past five decades. His choice to spotlight this particular cover on national TV suggests they’re proud of what they’ve done with the song.
The timing of this announcement carries some weight. Amy Winehouse passed away on July 23, 2011. Her 15th anniversary is just nine days away. This news landing so close to that date feels meaningful. Her catalog is small. But its impact has only grown in the years since her passing.
Wood didn’t go deep into specifics on The Tonight Show, so there’s no preview clip available yet. A release date for “Foreign Tongues” hasn’t been confirmed either. The buzz is already there, though. A Rolling Stones record always gets attention. Adding a Winehouse cover to the tracklist makes it even more of an event.
“You Know I’m No Good” isn’t an easy song to take on. It’s deeply tied to Winehouse’s voice and her personal style. The Stones putting their own take on it is a creative choice. Fans of both artists are going to want to hear it.
Amy Winehouse won five Grammy Awards in 2008, the most any British artist had taken home in a single night up to that point. Her influence on artists across genres has been widely documented. Hearing the Rolling Stones give one of her songs new life in 2026 is genuinely cool.
No comment from the Winehouse estate has surfaced yet. But the official Winehouse Instagram sharing the news is a good sign. More details on “Foreign Tongues” should be coming soon. This one is worth watching.
