Lana Del Rey is still cooking up her next album, Stove, but on Tuesday (Feb. 17), she gave fans a little taste by serving up single “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter.”

Cowritten with her husband, Jeremy Dufrene — whom she married in September 2024 — the whimsical track finds the singer gushing over her love and devotion for her partner in a slightly eerie way. “I know you wish you had a man like him, it’s such a bummer/ When I met him, like an arrow, like a bird in the heart, like a sparrow,” she sings over teetering strings. “We’re a match, he’s just in my bone marrow.”
“And I wanted to know if I could use your stove/ To cook somethin’ up for you ’cause you are,” she continues. “Positively voodoo, everything that you do/ Did you know exactly how magical you are?”
The creation of “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” was a family affair overall, with Del Rey’s sister Chuck Grant and brother-in-law Jason Pickens also collaborating on its lyrics. Jack Antonoff, the alt-pop hitmaker’s frequent collaborator, produced and helped compose the track.
When she first announced that she’d be releasing the song earlier in February, Del Rey called it her “favorite” song from Stove. “This is the one I’ve been waiting for,” she added at the time, noting that she thinks the long awaited album will be ready to drop in about three months.
The new album era has been a long time coming for Del Rey, who first announced in January 2024 at the Billboard x NMPA Songwriter Awards that she was working on a country record. Its lead single, “Henry, Come On,” arrived in April 2025, back when the project’s working title was The Right Person Will Stay. She later postponed the album and renamed it Stove.
The vocalist last dropped an album in 2023, with that year’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
