Lana Del Rey just dropped a small teaser of a track, and right away, you can hear her sing, “Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post/Think it’s cute reenacting my Chicago pose.”
She posted a video on Instagram, and you can see her driving along while the song blasts in the background—people have been waiting for this moment because, before now, only little pieces of the song floated around online, but this time, it’s the real deal, like a finished version. Some folks online think the lyrics are about Ethel Cain and her connection to Jack Donoghue, since Lana used to date him, and Ethel was spotted with him too—kind of drama, right? The song even mentions an Instagram post, which might be about those 2022 photos: Lana and Jack outside a prison, and Ethel and Jack at a dam. Plus, there’s a part where Lana sings, “The most famous girl at the Waffle House,” which is actually the headline from an The New York Times article about Ethel. (Funny enough, Lana later pretended to work at a Waffle House in Alabama.) Sometimes Ethel Cain even hints about Lana on her socials, so it’s like a back-and-forth game between them.
Fans sometimes just want these artists to be friends, but they keep sending secret messages in their songs instead.
Recently, Lana showed off some new tunes at Stagecoach, and people are guessing these tracks are for her next album, which might be called Lasso or The Right Person Will Stay—no one’s totally sure yet, but either way, everyone’s excited to see what she does next.
