JAKARTA - Dolly Parton spoke about the political background of her new song, World on Fire.

In an interview with Vulture, this country legend responded to the superlature, and called World On Fire the song "most reflecting your own mythology".

World On Fire appears on Rockstar's new album, which is the highest-charging album at number 3 and has four stars from NME.

"I wrote a lot of uplifting songs, but I think World on Fire gave a statement because people often say, 'Oh, I didn't know you were political,'" he said.

And I will answer, 'Listen, I am not political here. I am a person who has the ability to speak up and the world is on fire. It seems that no one cares enough to come out and do something.'

"I've written some songs like that, but I feel the need to write World on Fire to reflect on this moment."

Parton also shared that music is his way of protesting.

"I think it's a national anthem for me, where I'm in my life right now, and the things I'm worried about - which is the same thing we all need to worry about. About and I'm sure it is," Parton said.

'Who's going to get up, who's going to try to make changes, and what are we going to do to make a difference? The best thing I do is write and sing and come out and donate my Bible in my own way.'

He also said, although World On Fire was 'attractive', the song was also written to attract people's attention to various things.

"You don't know how big it is, or how big it is, the help it's given," he explained. But when you're like me, when your heart is soft and you care about humanity and our civilization world in general you feel helpless if you don't do something. "

"I'm not someone who likes to line up on the streets with a sign or holding a gun or a knife, but my words are my tools and weapons. I'm trying to attract attention, accuse, and highlight the dark situation. And I'm going to keep doing that. I've been trying to do that for years, even with songs like Light of a Clear Blue Morning or Better Get to Livin. I've always tried to say, Hey, get up. Look. Do better."
