Lana Del Rey is back and she brought a brand-new anthem for all the emotionally unstable romantics out there who still wear eyeliner to bed “for the vibe.”
The 39-year-old queen of cinematic sadness and retro glamour has just blessed us with her latest track, “Henry, Come On,” and spoiler alert: Henry is in trouble. Big, poetic, violins-playing-in-the-distance kind of trouble.
This masterpiece is the lead single from her upcoming album, The Right Person Will Stay, which honestly sounds less like an album title and more like something your best friend tells you after your situationship ghosts you at 2AM. (Relatable.)
And in case that wasn’t enough drama, Lana is about to yeehaw her way to Stagecoach, the country music festival where rhinestones and heartache collide. Expect her to glide onstage like a haunted cowgirl while singing lines like:
“And it’s not because of you / That I turned out so dangerous…”
“Yesterday, I heard God say, ‘It’s in your blood.’”
Okay, pause. Lana said God personally called her to let her know she’s dramatic by DNA? Iconic.
Then she hits us with:
“You were born to be the one / To hold the hand of the man / Who flies too close to the sun.”
Ma’am. What Greek tragedy is Henry living through?! Is Henry Icarus? Is she Icarus? Am I Icarus? Who’s holding whose hand? Someone explain while I cry into my kombucha.
Anyway, if you’re ready to feel like you’re in a black-and-white indie film directed by your ex-boyfriend’s cooler ex-girlfriend, hit play on this absolute emotional rollercoaster.
