It's not the first time the pair has performed the 1983 hit. In December 2019, they played both "Pink Houses" and "Glory Days" together at Sting's semi-annual Rainforest Benefit. Most recently, Springsteen appeared as a guest on Mellencamp's 2022 album, Strictly a One-Eyed Jack.
"Bruce has a wonderful way of having humility and tenacity, all at the same time," Mellencamp told Billboard in early 2022. "He can get his ideas across with humility and an ability to do what he wants to do. He's run his own band longer than I have, so I don't have to say, 'Hey Bruce, how about…?' He says, 'How about if I try this?' and 'How about if I try that?' And he's Bruce Springsteen — sure, try it."
