Starz released the final Outlander title sequence ahead of the show's eighth season, featuring a new performance of "The Skye Boat Song" by Annie Lennox. Lennox said she has loved and sung the song since childhood in Aberdeen and called recording it for the final season an honor tied to Scottish culture and history. Composer Bear McCreary selected Lennox and described Season 8's score as the culmination of more than a decade of work, promising musical surprises. The theme has evolved across seasons, including versions by Raya Yarbrough, a choral arrangement, and Sinéad O'Connor's Season 7 cover, and McCreary noted the song's lyrical connection to the Jacobite Uprising.
