All four bandmates performed "Light of Day," the Bruce Springsteen-penned song that first premiered in a 1987 movie starring Jett alongside Michael J. Fox, while practicing social distancing in their homes. The song, which reached No. 33 on the Hot 100, has become a regular part of Jett's setlist while she performs live. Springsteen has also performed the song over 300 times in concert. 

Last month, Jett highlighted the importance of international solidarity on social media as she shared, "Let's all take the advice so we can protect each other &get back to doing what we [love] — playing rocknroll for you. Even if it hasn't hit your community yet, this is real &we all must take it seriously. Can't wait to see you all once we #BeatTheVirus."
