Lana Del Rey season is officially on. She’s back with two fresh tracks ‘Henry, Come On,’ and ‘Bluebird,’ and yes, we’re already emotionally spiraling. With a brand new era blooming and tour dates on the horizon, we’ve been deep in daydream mode, imagining the concert of our wildest, softcore dreams. So, what better time to manifest the ultimate Lana Del Rey setlist? To celebrate this ethereal new chapter, and get hyped for her upcoming shows across the USA and UK, we’ve pulled together six songs we’re begging to hear live.
‘Henry, Come On’
We had to kick things off with Lana’s first release of the year, ‘Henry, Come On.’ It’s the perfect slow-burn ballad, soft, aching, and rich with the kind of vivid storytelling only she can deliver. We’ve all been cowgirls in waiting, loyal and lovesick, and now that she’s finally dropped new music, we’re obsessed. We can already picture the chorus floating through open-air stadiums, wind in our hair, feelings on full display. The instrumentals? Stunning. The bridge? Devastating. The post-breakup lyrics? Pure, divine, Lana magic.
‘Bluebird’
‘Bluebird’ landed in our ears last Friday, and it’s already fluttered straight into our hearts. Lana shared that the track was sparked by a real-life encounter which was a bird flying into her window, delivering a message she later realized she should’ve paid more attention to. Only Lana could turn a moment like that into something so haunting and beautiful. The song unpacks the chaos of a turbulent relationship, with Lana singing to the bird, and maybe to herself, searching for strength and closure. It’s a quiet kind of hope wrapped in melancholy, and we need to hear it live, soaring through the night air.
‘Cinnamon Girl’
Let’s be real … If you’ve ever fallen down a Lana Del Rey TikTok rabbit hole, chances are ‘Cinnamon Girl’ was the dreamy soundtrack. That delicate, heart-tugging post-chorus? Pure magic. It’s the kind of song that wraps you in a cloud of melancholy and warmth at the same time. Experiencing this one live would be nothing short of transcendent. Manifesting it for the next tour. We wouldn’t be Lana fans if we didn’t wish with our entire bodies to experience this song live.
‘Video Games’
Whether you’ve been riding the Lana wave since Born to Die or just discovered her cinematic universe, you know ‘Video Games.’ It’s the track that put her on the map and still holds up as one of her most hauntingly beautiful pieces. It’s timeless, emotional, and we deserve to sway under the stage lights with tears in our eyes while she sings it live. A core memory waiting to happen.
‘West Coast’
Did you think we were skipping Ultraviolence? Absolutely not. ‘West Coast’ is hypnotic, unpredictable, and completely unforgettable. That tempo shift? Iconic. The way it grabs you and doesn’t let go? Legendary. It’s a bold, gritty staple that fans need to hear live, preferably with some moody lighting and a slow-motion breeze for dramatic effect.
‘Salvatore’
Cue the sun, cocktails, and a hint of chaos. ‘Salvatore’ is the summer fever dream we all deserve. With its whimsical lyrics and eccentric energy, this track screams “catch me if you can, working on my tan,” literally, it’s the lyrics. It’s quirky, it’s glamorous, it’s unexpected, and we need it on the setlist for pure theatrical delight.
When Lana’s new music drops, you know it’s going to be a good summer. How much are you loving ‘Bluebird’ and ‘Henry, Come On?’ Now we want to know your thoughts on the songs and whether you’re going to one of Lana’s shows across the summer.
