Fiona Apple to Release New Song About Pretrial Detention Next Week

Fiona Apple's new song, "Pretrial (Let Her Go Home)," inspired by her experience as a court watcher, will raise funds for bail support and highlight the struggles faced by women detained pretrial. The track offers a poignant call to pretrial freedom, documenting the harsh reality of 190,600 U.S. jail inmates facing presumed innocence with limited income, including over 66% being mothers. Apple plans to release it on May 7 alongside Let Her Go Home's campaign to document pretrial detention. She has also been active in 2025, guest starring on the Waterboys' track and covering Neil Young’s "Heart of Gold" for a benefit album.
