Lana Del Rey is back. The American singer-songwriter dropped her latest song, “Henry, Come On,” on Friday, the first single off her upcoming 10th studio album, The Right Person Will Stay.
Del Rey shared a brief teaser of the track on Instagram in January 2024 while tagging country music songwriter and producer Luke Laird. “I mean Henry, come on / Do you think I’d really choose it?” she sings over a stringy track before offering a warning. “Last call, hey, y’all / Hang his hat up on the wall / Tell him that his cowgirl is gone / Come on and giddyup.”
Del Rey announced her 10th album, The Right Person Will Stay, in a November Instagram post where she thanked Laird, Jack Antonoff, Zachary Dawes and Drew Erickson for their “beautiful work” on the LP that features 13 tracks.
The news came after the “Ride” singer said earlier in 2024 that her landmark 10th record would be a country project entitled Lasso. Now, with plans of that project supposedly out the window, it appears The Right Person Will Stay will still feature country inspiration in alignment with her leading Stagecoach 2025 on April 25.
Coming off her headlining Coachella performance last year, Del Rey teased her forthcoming appearance at the music festival on Instagram, where she promised “a very special country set” that will feature a few new tracks, likely from The Right Person Will Stay.
“This has been such a crazy nine months and I’m so blessed that come the 25th, It will have been a year since I got to headline Coachella,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “Thank you to my buddies over there at the [Stagecoach] festival for letting me play my new songs this year for you.”
The Right Person Will Stay arrives May 21, serving as the follow-up to Del Rey’s 2023 album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. The latter record earned the alternative pop star five nods at the 66th Grammys, including a nom in the coveted song of the year and album of the year categories.
