In an Instagram Story shared today (February 7), she gave fans an update on the progress of her upcoming 10th album ‘Stove’ – revealing it is coming “soon” – and revealed that its latest single will be released on February 17.

Turning to the album, she continued: “I know, you’re asking about the record. But honestly, soon, because vinyl takes three months, so three months plus two weeks. I mean, it could be give or take a bit less than that.”

She said she was “really happy” about the new single, revealing that she made it with Jack Antonoff, who she said “finally found that magical chord that was missing.”
Del Rey also said that the track was written alongside Dufrene, as well as her brother-in-law and her sister. “There’s just so many bits and phrases thrown in by other people,” she explained.
RecommendedThe singer’s follow-up to 2023’s ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’ has been in gestation for a long time. She first announced it in 2024, teasing that it would boast a country sound, and it originally went by the title ‘Lasso’.
That shifted to ‘The Right Person Will Stay’ in late 2024, and it was due to be released in May last year, but that was later pushed back to September.
In August, however, she said that it would now “likely be released at the end of January” 2026, and revealed that it had been renamed ‘Stove’. She said the reason for the further delay was that she had decided to add six more songs to the tracklist, but restated that the record would have “a country flair”.
Last April, she did release the first singles from the album – ‘Henry, Come On’ and ‘Bluebird’ – but ‘White Feather-Hawk Tail Deer Hunter’ will be the first new music since then.

In 2024, Del Rey spoke spoke to NME about the album, and suggested that the lyrics might be lighter than on her previous albums.
“I’ve maybe less to say in terms of any self-revealing things like on ‘Tunnel’ or ‘Blue Bannisters’ or ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’, and just more melodic,” she told us. “Maybe more American Songbook style?”
She also added that there would be a more “playful” feel to it than she originally planned, saying: “If you hang in long enough, it just feels easy. There’s no vindication, no nothing – I’m just kind of happy to be here. It’s easy-going in that way.”
In other news, Del Rey recently hit back at claims that she grew up rich, saying she has “no idea what that would’ve felt like”.
