“It’s not because of you that I became so dangerous / Yesterday, I heard God say, ‘It’s in your blood'”sings Lana in the chorus. “Yesterday, I heard God say, ‘You were born to be the one who holds the hand of the man who flies too close to the sun.’

Lana has been provoking fans with excerpts “Henry, eat on” For over a year. In early 2024, she shared a preview of music without further explanation. A few weeks ago, he published the art of the single cover, in which he appears in a white lace dress and classic red lipstick.
The new track is the first sound glimpse of The Right Person Will Stay. Since February 2024, Lana has been suggesting a project with country inspirations, originally titled Lassoand that would be released in the second half of last year.
During an event from Billboard Which preceded Grammy, Lana detailed the initial concept of the project:
“If it is not yet clear from the winners and artists tonight, the music industry is going to country… we’re going to country. It’s going on. That’s why Jack has accompanied me for Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi for the past four years.”
In August 2024, the singer clarified her aesthetic proposal in an interview with Vogue:
“All my albums have roots in the Americana… so I don’t think it will be a radical change,” explained. “If something is different, it will only be in the lyrics – a little lighter – and in a more focused sound in the classic, American or Southern Gothic country – which, in a way, many of my works already explore.”
If you fulfill what you promised, Lana should still release another single before taking her country boots to the Stagecoach Desert. The fans, of course, cheer for it.
