Ringo Starr has spoken about his new collaboration with his former Beatles colleague Paul McCartney, revealing how their duet "Home to Us" is different from anything they've recorded together so far.

The song, which is on McCartney's new album "The Boys of Dungeon Lane," represents their first real duet in which both men sing equally.

"It's the first time we've done it as a real duet - we both sing. I've sung some choruses on his songs before, and he's played on mine, he's come in with a bass guitar. It's not like we don't know each other," Star joked.

The musician made no secret of how much it meant to him to work with his longtime friend again.

"It was great for me, because we used to be in the same band, and it was the best band ever. Paul is an incredible bass player and a top-notch songwriter. I could talk about him forever. He's just a wonderful man," Starr said.

"Home to Us" was released on May 8 as the second single from McCartney's 20th studio solo album, which was released later that month.

The former Beatles members have collaborated on numerous projects before.

Starr played drums on McCartney's 1997 album "Flaming Pie," McCartney played bass on Starr's 2017 album "Give More Love," while he played all the instruments on the 2023 release "Rewind Forward."

Star also released a country album, "Long Long Road," this year, recalling how his first foray into the genre came about half a century ago.

"I've always loved country music. I recorded my first country album 50 years ago, quite by accident. After the Beatles broke up, I was playing on a George Harrison album, when musician Pete Drake came from Nashville. He saw a bunch of country tapes in my car and told me I had to come to Nashville to record an album. I said I couldn't spend months there, and he told me that Bob Dylan's 'Nashville Skyline' was recorded in just two days. I ended up going, and that's how long it took us to finish the album. We would talk to the writers in the morning and choose the songs, and record them in the afternoon. It was a really great experience," Starr recalled.
