A previously unreleased Tina Turner song, "Hot For You Baby," will debut as part of the 40th anniversary edition of her acclaimed album Private Dancer, set for release on March 21, 2025.

The track, written by John Paul Young and produced by John Carter, was originally intended for the 1984 album but didn't make the final cut. The song features a distinctive rock sound with prominent guitar solos, organ, and drums.

Private Dancer was a pivotal album in Turner's career, selling 10 million copies and earning three Grammy awards. The album's standout hit, "What's Love Got to Do With It," reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

Turner, who passed away on May 24, 2023, at age 83, emerged as a solo artist after leaving her abusive marriage to Ike Turner. Her 1986 autobiography, "I, Tina," chronicled her experiences and established her as an inspiration for abuse survivors.

Following her death, a 55-track greatest hits compilation was released, celebrating her 50-year solo career and featuring her memorable cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" alongside her biggest hits.
