Well, she said it was coming in September. And then promised two singles. It's not like we made it up.

Again, I strongly believe she's just not ready, and posted that announcement solely to keep us interested. Also, because she had promised an album this year, and a few more singles before the end of the year, so she's trying to atone. But she's not really planning to drop anything this year.
 
She will most certainly change the cover, maybe even the title, when the record is actually ready. Which is more likely to be next summer, with how slow the whole thing is moving or, rather, not moving.
 
For me, it's best to just forget that she's even posted anything. Expect a random single release in May next year, with the album in July or fall.
 

ahhhh, i see, *you* think it'a an "artistic flop" and therefore it is. 
 
thanks for sharing

Exactly. And it garnered 19 million views there.
 
For comparison with her last MVs:
 
Candy Necklace: 4.9m
Lost at Sea: 2.1m
Blue Banisters: 7.3m
Arcadia: 10m
Summertime Gershwin: 4.8m
White Dress: 13m
LMLYLAW: 8.7m
 
Basically, Chemtrails is the only MV off her last three records that did better than Tough on YouTube, and y'all call this a flop.  Just stop.

Right??? Like, hate the track all you want, honestly. No problem at all! Loathe it.
 
But the constant criticism of this single based on "poor performance" and "flopping" automatically discretis anyone who says so..
 
We're lucky Tough got Lana back on the radio and the Billboard hot 100 when none of her last three records did. NONE. Not one single charted.
 
Tough has certainly fulfilled its purpose for this year, and like it or not, it did really well as far as LDR singles go. It's still doing 366,000 streams on Spotify daily, which is two times more than Snow on the Beach,  three times more than what OB and AW are doing, and ten times more than The Grants. Also, 13 times more than Arcadia. Meanwhile, Blue Banisters (the single) is getting a measly 23,000 streams per day, and White Dress even less, which means Tough is doing about 16 times better.
 
So, again, diss Tough all you want. But if you're calling that track a flop, what does that make her other singles this decade? Get real.

How was Tough a flop song?
 
It charted both higher and longer than SYTH, Love, and High by the Beach. In fact, it's her 5th longest charting single on Billboard hot 100 of all time.
 
It's also outstreamed 150 songs of her discography, including the BB and OB singles, and it's already reached the top 50 most streamed LDR songs of all time on Spotify.
 
I wish people who dislike Tough would stop presenting it as a flop just because they dislike it.

TRAGIC. Fenway is a total vibe. As good as anything on LFL. Like Cherry's younger, sexier, sluttier sister lol

lmao. So true. The titles are getting messier
 
 
Although, she has had some great titles in this decade, e.g. Tulsa Jesus Freak, Paris, Texas, Wild at Heart. Very David Lynch

i wouldn't be surprised if Tough will pull Doin Time and appear on the tracklist. (i'd be here for it tho)

Her some of her song titles in her albums are:
• one word adjectives or random things/people (Sweet, Beautiful, Bartender, Dealer, Thunder, Change, Fishtail, Freak), she has a lot them
 
• references to a (famous or a close) person (Margaret, NFR, Sweet Caroline, Terrence Loves You)
 
• references to a famous song or a book or a movie (Sweet Caroline, Paris Texas, Lolita, Body Electric)
 
• sentence from a chorus (Grandfather..., Did You Know..., Hope..., When The World..., Let Me Love...)
 
• names of location/places (Yosemite, California, Venice Bitch, Mariners Apartment Complex, Arcadia)
 
• weird but cute word combinations (Tulsa Jesus Freak, Wildflower Wildfire, Summer Bummer, Coachella Woodstock In My Mind)
 
• clothing items, accessories (Black Bathing Suit, White Dress, Candy Necklace)
 
• Food, mostly drinks (Taco Truck, Cola, Cherry, A&W - a rootbeer brand, Diet Mountain Dew)
 
I mean, we can expect at least one from each category for The Right Person Will Stay
 
Also, appreciation post for Dark But Just A Game, I fucking love this title, I claimed this from day one!!!

That is incorrect. Producers' retention is subject to availability. If Jack is busy with Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift or whoever, then she would go to Luke with the same production notes.
 
If Luke is busy, she would then go to the next one available producer, and so on. This is very likely the case with an album that's been in the making for years.
 
Typically, you want your songs to sound cohesive, just like UV was cohesive.
 
The album has 4+ producers, but that absolutely doesn't mean that all of the songs won't be stripped back and 'sound the same'. Especially when all four have done similar,  piano and acoustic-friendly work before. 
 
Now if Cirkut, Andrew Watt or Emile Haynie were also named, that would be a completely different story.

Not ya'll coming up with the most poetic song titles when we all know that this album will contain masterpieces like:
Wetherspoons (By the Southend-on-Sea Pier) Met my boyfriend at the Alligator guide tour and he proposed to me 5 years later  Margaret Qualley Interlude Cheerios BBL [Be Back Later]

That is hilarious! Also, Nicole Kidman is my other fav celebrity, so this totally sounds like a dream I could have had lmao

oh thas nawt... legendsineon your crown slipped a lil when you posted this... 

Well, for starters, they've been repurposed a gazillion times. Mostly by folks going through trauma and pain, or those encouraging others to pick themselves up and move on.
 
The very context of these statements implies self-healing, recovery, regaining balance, etc. 
 
Most of all, they're cliched statements.  So, for me, this territory is more self-help isle in a bookshop, rather than any psychology corner with actual insights. But that's just my opinion.
 
We don't have to agree on this, you know? It's just my opinion.
