"This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr" is a song by English rock guitarist Jeff Beck and American actor, producer and musician Johnny Depp released as the lead single from their collaborative studio album 18 (2022).
An accompanying music video for "This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr", was released on 9 June 2022.
They started recording music together in 2019 and released their first collaborative single, a cover version of John Lennon's "Isolation" on 11 April 2020.
