Lana Del Rey has dropped her eagerly awaited new tune ‘Henry, Come On’, setting her fanbase abuzz with collective praise.
The 39-year-old singer/songwriter from New York, US, been dropping hints about the song for well over a year. Devotees of Lana, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, are over the moon that their wait to experience the track is at last over.
Streaming encouragement flooded X upon its arrival, with Lana Del Rey supporters rallying behind Lana to ensure the single’s triumph. One avid listener declared: “We will all be streaming.” Another excitedly posted: “That’s wonderful… let’s all stream it fam.”
Yet another enthused fan mentioned: “Can’t wait to listen 452 times in a row,” while a different individual shared their emotional rollercoaster, expressing they were “choking, crying, throwing up” from sheer adoration post-release.
Someone else also added: “Lana really knows how to pull you into a story without rushing a thing.”
It’s thought ‘Henry, Come On’ is the first track from Del Rey’s forthcoming album ‘The Right Person Will Stay’, following hot on the heels of ‘Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’. The new album is currently scheduled for a May 21 release date, according to reports.
Hot on the heels of this release, Del Rey will perform at the Stagecoach Festival in California, which is being held April 25-27. A series of UK summer gigs will also follow that.
Lana revealed her 10th studio album back in November, hinting at new tunes on Instagram. She wrote at the time: “Happy for you to hear a few songs coming up before Stagecoach.” At that point, she casually referred to one track as ‘Henry’ instead of its full title ‘Henry, Come On. ‘.
Previously, in February, Lana had hinted at the country vibe of her upcoming album, initially set to be named Lasso. Speaking at a Billboard pre-Grammy event, Del Rey shared insights into the album’s direction, saying: “If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country… We’re going country. It’s happening. That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.”
By August 2024, in a Vogue interview, she further defined her album’s concept, commenting: “All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana… so I don’t think it will be a heavy departure.”
She added: “If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American, or Southern Gothic production – which again, so many of my songs already are.”
