Giddyup, Lana Del Rey is back. The singer has shared “Henry, Come On,” her first bit of new music since last July, and first solo release in two years. The sad, cowgirl ballad “Henry, Come On” marks the first single from Del Rey’s upcoming album The Right Person Will Stay, out May 21.

“It’s not because of you that I turned out so dangerous/Yesterday, I heard God say, ‘It’s in your blood,’” sings Del Rey on the dreamy chorus. “Yesterday, I heard God say, ‘You were born to be the one to hold thе hand of the man who flies too close to thе sun.’”

The song arrived right on schedule. In November, when Del Rey officially set a date for her much anticipated 10th studio album, the singer wrote in an Instagram post, “Happy for you to hear a few songs coming up before Stagecoach.” At the time, the singer only referred to the song as “Henry” rather than its official title “Henry, Come On.” In two weeks, Del Rey will headline the first night of Stagecoach with a “very special country set,” which will include “new songs,” as she detailed in another update.

The singer has been teasing “Henry, Come On” for over a year. At the beginning of last year, Del Rey shared a snippet of the ballad without any context. Just a couple of weeks ago, she posted the single cover art for “Henry, Come On,” which features the singer wearing a white lace dress and classic red lip.

“Henry, Come On” is the first actual glimpse Del Rey has given into the sonic landscape of her 10th studio album. Since February 2024, the singer has been teasing a country-inspired project, originally titled Lasso, that was supposed to be released last fall. At a Billboard pre-Grammy event, Del Rey detailed the original album concept, 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, Del Rey clarified her sonic vision for the album in an interview with Vogue. “All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana… so I don’t think it will be a heavy departure,” she told the magazine. “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,” the singer added.

If Del Rey stays true to her word, she may just share another single before she takes her cowboy boots to the desert. We certainly hope so.
