Dolly Parton recorded a secret song that won't be released until 2045

The recording of "My Place in History" is sealed in a Dream Box with instructions to keep it closed for decades, Parton said.

  • Dolly Parton recorded a secret song titled 'My Place in History' in 2015, which is locked inside a chestnut 'Dream Box' at her DreamMore Resort in Tennessee, set to be released on her 100th birthday in 2046 as per her instructions.
  • The Dream Box contains a CD with the song and a CD player so future listeners can hear it, anticipating technological changes by 2046.
  • Only Dolly Parton knew the melody and lyrics of the song, and she expressed in 2022 that the secrecy was distressing because she wanted to hear it but could not.
  • Parton died in 2026 at age 80, never witnessing the release of the song, leaving it as a message for fans decades after her death.
