Jeremy Renner just released a single, and hold up . . . let's pump the brakes, back up, and allow that bonkers sentence to fully sink in for a moment, shall we? Jeremy — y'know, the guy who plays Hawkeye in Avengers: Endgame [1] and Jerry Pierce in Tag [2] — is a musician, apparently. The 48-year-old actor willingly thrust himself into the musical spotlight this week when he dropped his own version of Sam Feldt's "Heaven Don't Have a Name," much to the surprise of Marvel fans and, well, the entire world.
Jeremy mysteriously teased the musical project on Twitter and Instagram on Wednesday by sharing a 21-second clip of him singing [3] in what appears to be a home studio adorned with colorful disco-ball lights, for whatever reason. The cover quietly made its grand debut on Friday [4] when it hit Spotify in all its Imagine Dragons-like glory.
After doing a mini deep dive on Jeremy, I learned that this isn't his first foray into the world of music. He casually sang a Crash Test Dummies cover [6] during the ending credits of Tag. According to his official website, he recently recorded an entire album [7] that he hopes to release "soon." And he's actually also featured on Sam's original "Heaven (Don't Have a Name)" track. Why he just randomly decided to release his own out-of-the-blue cover of the song that he's already featured on, I don't know. But alas, here we are.
Fans have had pretty mixed reactions to Jeremy's latest musical release. Some have already dubbed it a "bop" that "actually slaps," while others are utterly confused by the entire situation. Ahead, listen to Hawkeye's — er, Jeremy's — new song, and keep reading to see what the internet is saying about it.
