Lana Del Rey Reveals New Song “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” a Trippy, Love-Drunk Return to Form: Stream

Lana Del Rey has unveiled her new single, “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” the latest preview from her upcoming album Stove.

Filled with classical instrumentation and delicate, near-whispered vocals, “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” is a purely lovelorn offering from Del Rey. The track was co-written by her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, making it his first-ever songwriting credit; the song appears to reference their initial courtship, his fondness for hunting, and their eventual marriage. Throughout, she depicts images of domesticity — cooking for her husband, riding on his “John Deere mower” — and skates across a refrain with a rather anachronistic “Whoopsie daisy yoo-hoo,” almost like an old cartoon character muttering to herself. All the while, psychedelic strings bloom across a gently-strummed acoustic guitar, with chords that never quite resolve.

Though it’s a bit of a peculiar arrangement, “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” certainly feels like one of Stove’s thematic centerpieces. Her rap-like cadence in the verses recall Del Rey’s older style, where she summoned references both modern and classical with a kind of luxurious passivity. Now, Del Rey is completely love-drunk, fawning over her husband and basking in the way he completes her after a period of uncertainty. “Everyone knows I’ve had some trouble,” Del Rey sings in the pre-chorus, “But it’s been three summers/ I know it’s strange to see me cooking for my husband.”

Del Rey described “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” as her “favorite song,” remarking “this is the one I’ve been waiting for.” The song was co-written by Dufrene, her sister Chuck Grant, and her brother-in-law Jason Pickens; it was produced by regular collaborator Jack Antonoff, with Drew Erickson contributing strings and co-production.

As for Del Rey’s long-awaited new album, she said it’s coming “soon,” adding that “vinyl takes three months plus two weeks.” She previously offered singles “Henry, come on” and “Bluebird.” We named Stove one of the most anticipated pop albums of 2026.
