Fiona Apple Provides New Theme Song for Apple TV+ Series Lucky

The brief track is available only in the show’s title sequence and highlights Apple’s turn toward isolated, collaborative releases rather than a new album.

Overview

  • Fiona Apple wrote and recorded “Horns Of The Bull,” which debuts in the title sequence of Apple TV+’s miniseries Lucky.
  • The song is one minute and forty seconds long and features pattering drums, warm piano chords, Apple’s sing-spoken delivery and a mid-song growl that critics say recalls Fetch the Bolt Cutters.
  • Apple co-produced the theme with her drummer Amy Aileen Wood, who is married to Lucky showrunner Cassie Pappas, creating a direct personal-producer link behind the placement.
  • The first Lucky episodes began streaming Wednesday, July 15, 2026, which made the song publicly audible even though Apple has not issued it as a standalone release.
  • The placement fits a pattern since Apple’s 2020 album of releasing occasional, project-specific work — a 2025 benefit single, a Neil Young cover, guest vocals and co-writes — and comes as she has said she is struggling to write about the wider world’s “endless barrage of horrors.”
