Of the collaboration Iggy Pop has said: “I’ve always liked to bite. I guess this makes me a singing vampire, does this mean I have a licence to suck? Hi Bethany…”

The track was written by the show’s music supervisor Gary Calamar alongside James Combs. Of Iggy Pop’s involvement, Calamar – via KCRW – said: “Iggy Pop, or should I say Iggy’s people, had reached out to me saying he was a True Blood fan and if any opportunities come up, to please keep Iggy in mind. What? Music to my ears. We sent Iggy the demo of ‘LB&R’. He loved it and said sign me up.”

Last year Nick Cave and Neko Case also duetted for True Blood, recording a version of The Zombies’ classic track “She’s Not There”.
