Lana Del Rey has provided fans with much-anticipated updates regarding her long-awaited country album.
On Saturday, February 7, the singer-songwriter, 40, took to social media to announce the title and release date of her “favorite” track from the forthcoming project titled Stove.
In a video shared on her Instagram Story, Del Rey expressed her excitement, stating, “I just wanted to make a little message and let you know that my new single, my favorite song [from the new album] — this is the one I’ve been waiting for.”
She revealed that “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” is slated for release on the 17th, though she did not specify the month, which is presumed to be February.
Del Rey collaborated with producers Drew Erickson and Jack Antonoff on the track, noting, “they finally found that magical chord that I was missing.” The song was co-written with her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, her brother-in-law, and her sister Caroline “Chuck” Grant, with mixing done by Dean Reid and Laura Sisk.
Additionally, she confirmed that a music video for “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” has already been produced. “We made the video, like just ourselves,” she said. “But still, it takes hours and hours of editing and downloading, uploading — all that.”
Looking ahead to her upcoming 10th album, Del Rey indicated it could be released in the coming months. “I know, you’re asking about the record,” she said. “But honestly, soon. ‘Cause vinyl takes three months, so three months plus two weeks. It could be give or take a bit less than that.”
The singer first teased her country album in January 2024 at the Billboard x NMPA Songwriter Awards, announcing it would be titled Lasso and planned for a September 2024 release. “We’re going country!” she declared at the time.
Del Rey released the first single, “Henry, Come On,” in April 2025, just as the album’s title transitioned to The Right Person Will Stay. After initially scheduling the release for May, she postponed it and later renamed the album Stove.
“They were more autobiographical than I thought, and that took more time,” she told W in August 2025, when the album was postponed to this year.
She further explained, “The majority of the album will have a country flair. Eight years ago, when I was looking to make a country record, no one else was thinking about country. Now everyone is going country! I’ve asked myself, Should I retire all my snakeskin boots? Should I put my cowboy hats in storage?”
