Lana Del Rey has officially announced her upcoming album, The Right Person Will Stay, set for release on May 21, 2025. Initially teased as a country-inspired project titled Lasso, the new album combines Americana and Southern Gothic influences with Del Rey’s signature introspective style. Featuring 13 tracks, the album was crafted with longtime collaborators Jack Antonoff, Zach Dawes, and Drew Erickson, as well as Nashville hitmaker Luke Laird, known for his work with artists like Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert.
Describing the project as one of her most creatively fulfilling, Del Rey shared her excitement on Instagram, hinting at the album’s reflective and Americana-inspired sound. The 13-track album includes the upcoming single “Henry,” which fans will get to hear ahead of her highly anticipated performance at Stagecoach Festival in April. The track, which features delicate acoustic guitars and lyrical storytelling, has already gained traction online after Del Rey teased a snippet earlier this year.
The Right Person Will Stay follows Del Rey’s critically acclaimed 2023 album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, and marks her first project since marrying Louisiana alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene. Fans are speculating how her new chapter in life may influence the album’s themes, potentially offering a blend of wistful nostalgia and newfound joy.
In addition to the album, Del Rey has announced a 2025 stadium tour across the U.K. and Ireland, with stops at iconic venues such as London’s Wembley Stadium and Dublin’s Aviva Stadium. The tour kicks off in June, shortly after her Stagecoach performance, where she plans to debut some of the album’s tracks. These shows will follow her triumphant headline set at Coachella earlier this year, further cementing her reputation as a magnetic live performer.
With The Right Person Will Stay, Lana Del Rey promises another evocative chapter in her storied career, combining fresh narratives with the timeless, melancholic artistry that her fans have come to love. May 21 is shaping up to be a pivotal date for music lovers everywhere.
