"Last Train Home" is soft rock with the gloss buffed to a mirror shine, the fourth single from Sob Rock, John Mayer's eighth album, in 2021. Mayer wrote it and produced it with Don Was, and Maren Morris sings with him as an uncredited guest.
Its rollout took a strange detour. Mayer teased eight bars on TikTok in March 2021 without a title, and the very next day British musician Mary Spender posted her own full imagined version on YouTube. The story went international; Mayer gave her take his blessing that same day and sent her the real one before anyone else heard it. Greg Phillinganes and Mayer play keyboards, Sean Hurley bass, Aaron Sterling drums and Lenny Castro percussion, and Mark "Spike" Stent mixed. It later turned up in the first season of The Bear.
