Lana Del Rey's New Country Album 2025 - ‘The Right Person Will Stay’: Everything We Know So Far

Lana Del Rey has officially confirmed her long-awaited new album, The Right Person Will Stay, will be released on May 21st, 2025, a month after her highly anticipated Stagecoach 2025 debut. It looks like Lana is planning on using her Stagecoach set as a springboard from which she'll launch the rollout for her new body of work, in a similar way to how Post Malone debuted the lead single from his blockbuster country album, the Morgan Wallen-assisted ‘I Had Some Help’, during Stagecoach 2023.

Originally, the forthcoming project, which marks Lana's first full-length country album, was due to be titled ‘Lasso’, with the record tentatively slated for a September 2024 release. However, in November, the pop phenom unveiled the new 2025 release date for the project, which has been renamed ‘The Right Person Will Stay’. The artwork features a retro, monochrome portrait of Lana with the title scrawled below.

The ‘Summertime Sadness’ hitmaker first teased her country record during a Billboard pre-Grammys event, with Lana Del Rey having worked with the likes of Jack Antonoff, Luke Laird, Zach Dawes and Drew Erickson to compile the 13-song album.

As of yet, we don't have an official tracklist, but Lana Del Rey shared a snippet of an unreleased country-leaning song, ‘Henry, Come On’, via Instagram in mid-January. The sparse, atmospheric clip finds Lana losing patience with her partner, as she croons, “Do you think I’d really choose it? All of this off and on? Henry, come on”.

During the official The Right Person Will Stay announcement, Lana hinted that we might get to hear ‘Henry, Come On‘ ahead of the May 21st release date, teasing, “Happy for you to hear a few songs coming up before Stagecoach 🚴 🧣 starting with Henry”.

In December 2023, Lana Del Rey released a cover of John Denver's iconic sing-a-long anthem, ‘Country Roads, Take Me Home’, which many saw as her first major foray into the genre. Even so, Lana has spoken in the past about how she views some of her back catalogue as having country influences, revealing in a 2021 interview with MOJO, “I went back and listened to ‘Ride’ and ‘Video Games’ and thought, you know, they’re kind of country. I mean, they’re definitely not pop”.

Shortly before releasing her take on ‘Country Roads, Take Me Home’, Lana Del Rey took the stage at the legendary Ryman Auditorium to deliver backing vocals with Nikki Lane and Meg Mcree for Lukas Nelson. Fans are hoping Lana took this opportunity to raise the prospect of a collaboration with Nikki, Meg or Lukas - or, ideally, all three.

Additionally, we know Lana is friends with one of the biggest stars in country music, Lainey Wilson, with the ‘Video Games’ singer-songwriter posting a photo alongside Lainey as she paid tribute to the Louisiana native's 2023 CMA Entertainer of the Year victory.

A Lana and Lainey link-up would be a colossal moment for country. Given the latter's track record of blockbuster collaborations, including the chart-topping ‘Save Me’ with Jelly Roll, we're holding out hope that Lainey will indeed appear on The Right Person Will Stay.
