The new goodbye song on "American Idol" will be by Motley Crue -- only Carrie Underwood will be singing it.
Underwood has remade the Crue song "Home Sweet Home," which will be used as the parting music when a contestant is eliminated.
The song is available as a digital download on iTunes now and on other services on Monday.
Part of the proceeds will be donated to one of Underwood's favorite charities, The Humane Society of the United States.
Underwood says she's always loved that song, and it's fitting both for "American Idol" and for animals finding new homes.
