The Irish singer is said to have "really resonated" with the main character of the show and shocked producers when she agreed to record the song. Each season of Outlander, a new version of The Skye Boat Song was recorded and had typically featured Raya Yarbrough's vocals. For the last instalment of the show, executive producer Maril Davis was keen to try something new and contacted Sinead thanks to composer Bear McCreary's connection. The late singer surprisingly accepted the invitation as she connected with the main character Claire's story, who travels from the 20th century to 18th century Scotland. The character is often told her ideas are "crazy" in the programme. In the new series, Claire's daughter Brianna has a storyline that unfolds during the 1980s and so Maril wanted to have the opening credits give a nod to the decade. "I'd heard that she really resonated with Claire's story. Obviously, we knew she was struggling with the death of her son, and certainly wasn't prepared necessarily to come out and do a lot of press. But we were so excited, and we just went down that road," Maril explained to Metro. The "haunting" recording of the song took two days and took place at Grouse Lodge in Ireland. No one knew it would end up being Sinead's final recorded song. Maril added: "I feel like her story is very similar to Claire's, they've been kind of at the forefront of things, maybe they have not been always embraced by [sic] everything they've done, and people have kind of pushed back and their ideas have maybe been 'crazy' and received a lot of backlash." The executive producer felt "honoured" Sinead wanted to be involved in the project. Sinead's funeral took place earlier t){kind=link}
