The track, a cover of Eddie Taylor’s 1955 song “Ride ‘Em On Down,” is the first single off [their new blues cover album,](http://time.com/4283346/rolling-stones-new-album-blues/) _Blue and Lonesome,_ [their first studio album in a decade](http://time.com/4283346/rolling-stones-new-album-blues/). In the video, Stewart spends most of her time zipping around an eerily empty Los Angeles in a bright blue vintage Mustang GT. In between Stewart speeding around L.A., we’re also treated to the sight of her buying beer, eating a lollipop, and having a sultry solo dance party at a gas station like a badass. The only time that the _Cafe Society_ actress slows down is when she bizarrely encounters a zebra while doing donuts in a deserted river basin, a la Thunder Road. Watch the full music video above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4589318/kristin-stewart-rolling-stones-music-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4589318/kristin-stewart-rolling-stones-music-video/"},"headline":"Kristin Stewart Feels the Need for Speed in the Rolling Stones' New Music Video, 'Ride 'Em On Down'","datePublished":"2016-12-02T20:35:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:09.737Z","description":"The actress takes a joyride for the first single off 'Blue & Lonesome'","url":"https://time.com/4589318/kristin-stewart-rolling-stones-music-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Kristen Stewart","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2f9e1cae90052da7/6988b077fb4eac503c890167/kristen-stewart-rolling-stones-music-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2f9e1cae90052da7/6988b077fb4eac503c890167/kristen-stewart-rolling-stones-music-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"54th New York Film Festival - An Evening with Kristen Stewart","caption":"54th New York Film Festival - An Evening with Kristen Stewart","creditText":"Jamie McCarthy—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4589318/kristin-stewart-rolling-stones-music-video/","name":"Kristin Stewart Feels the Need for Speed in the Rolling Stones' New Music Video, 'Ride 'Em On Down'"}}]}] ```
