lets be real..if shes rumoured to collab with a female pop star on lasso its going to be camila cabello 😭😭😭 or better case scenario itll be billie eilish (werent they in the studio together or something..?) madison beer also came to mind also but idk probs not
 
anyways im still waiting for her to collab w kali..

When the new moody mystery song is the first track off Lasso directly connected to and picking up from the end of Taco Truck (get high drop acid never die not tonight lake placid) and we find Lana is in the middle of an existential acid trip questioning and ruminating on all of the things she’s done for culture (has anyone else died for you?) thus beginning her most experimental, psychedelic album to date and we have @Psychedelic Pussy manifestations to thank

My two cents: it's a fuller, lush song, but they've shortened it. They wanted something fresh for the intro, Lana probably likes it, and they didn't want to reveal the whole song. Which is why it sounds incomplete.
 
Also, it makes a lot of sense that it's the Lasso opener for several reasons: 1.  well, she just opened a new era gig with it, 2. she mentions Lake Placid in it, and she mentioned Lake Placid at the end of the previous record, 3. it's time for her album title track to be first, and I'm pretty sure she uses the word "lassoing" in this song; it can be the title track.
 
Personally, I would love it if it was the opener! It would be her first opener that's not a ballad since 'Love' (2017).
 
If it went from that, into Tough, that would be a pretty fucking solid 1:2 punch.
 
 

imagine a lasso official announcement and album pre order + tough release on fourth of july omg it kinda makes sense cause lasso is a country americana album and 4th of july seems like a good date to release something 

The song was so good at Fenway…I keep thinking about it. I love them together and I love the visuals so far. Hoping it’s out in the next 2 weeks

The visuals for tough do give 4th of July

Why can't they just say the release date. They already played the whole song. There's nothing else to anticipate.

Idc what or who it’s for, we need this so badly. I kept my interest low even with the fire snippets, but the Fenway performance unlocked something within!! 

well, it could be that "Tough" is the first single from "Lasso" and they were just waiting to have an album release date to release the single + album pre-order. 
 
I want to stay positive 

it's lana's track. 
 
She sings the opening chorus alone, then he joins, has his bit, then they sing together, then the bridge is mostly hers, then they sing together. She's all over the song and he's more a feature.
 
the asthetic and country / trap vibe wouldnt fit his album aesthetic at all
 
this is a lasso cut. He probably gave it to her and she's probably adding it like she added doin' time.
 
Thats why the delay... that's why she doesnt know the lasso direction... 
 
also, would they be making a video for a one-off? No. It's on someone's album for sure. And since she premiered it at her concert and she's the one signing the most - it's hers

why is he tweeting like he has just learned the release date from some insider tea on lb lmao

Seems like the label wants a big release for this one, that's why not even Quavo knew when it's coming.

Not him and Ben saying “tough soon” and not even having a release date hopefully it actually is soon and not months away 

I’m a 4th of July truther  that wally caption “4th of july is coming soon” under his post of lana’s mv flag made me realize it’s a hint  
 

Just did a quick edit for a Lasso artwork. Manifesting southern gothic concept for this era 

a funny thing I’ve noticed is that everyone is struggling to spell Tough. Like I’ve seen Though more than Tough lmfaoo

it’s actually called “Whatever That Title Was”

the new song gives me Florence Welch vibes btw. AND I'M HERE FOR IT.

Yeah, I think that the album will be far more eclectic and experimental than what we've been expecting it to sound like so far. The new song/intro definitely *can* exist on the same album with the likes of Zodiac. Lana almost included "pearl watch on me ring a bell psycho lifeguard" (5 tracks apparently, lol) on DYKTTATUOB's album title, and didn't put any of these tracks on the album at all. I wonder if they were leaning too experimental/weird and ended up getting replaced by the Jon Batiste tracks and Margaret, which were all very late additions. I mean, Jack said that Lana didn't want to release A&W. With the unanimous raves that the song received from fans and critics alike, I could see her getting a bit riskier and bolder regarding the next album. And Jack *did* say that they were heading into a very strange place artistically, implying that they've been experimenting a lot. 
Now, Henry, Come On is certainly giving Americana/folk/country/American songbook vibes, and the Luke Laird sessions must have been extremely productive, because she was very excited about that collaboration. I could see this segment being the prevalent one on the album - the same way the more diaristic stuff were the thematic core of DYKTTATUOB. And, on the other hand, we have Tough which sounds like a very exciting, fresh and fun summer bop - it almost feels like the natural continuation and expansion of the last three tracks of DYKTATTUOB (and the loose first half of Lust for Life, too). 
 
So...I really don't know what to expect from the album at all. If it's true that it's getting released next Spring, she's probably still working on it. It kinda explains why she's so hesitant when it comes to talking about it/describing it. I'm pretty sure that she didn't randomly include the new song/intro on the setlist, given that she also debuted Tough. There must be a connection. 
 

If the new song is an actual song it's kinda giving album intro - she tends to unintentionally connect her closers with the openers of the following album like with Hope and White Dress and now this one and Taco truck 'cause of the Lake Placid mention and the Venice Bitch call back. More than welcome with wherever it's placed though
 
I don't know if anyone has said this yet but if this song is indeed an album track there's a possibility Zodiac could be included given their experimental natures
 
And yeah can't wait for how this album decides to take shape 
 

I’m praying it could be an A&W situation where she’s chopped and segmented a bit of a new song when performing it live. Kind of like how she’ll repeat “I say I live in Rosemead really I’m at the Ramada” line in a live performance. If it’s just an intro and nothing comes from it it will be one of my greatest losses because I’m obsessed with the dark moody vibe it’s giving. I don’t think it’s a coincidence she debuted it at the same show she debuted another new song, however 

tbh I think half of the reason it seems so hype is because it’s not a jack track 
 
if Henry was teased and she @‘ed Jack instead of Luke I think more people would be upset

it won’t be a hit if they keep postponing it 

The video of the snippet surpassed 30 million views on insta. It's gonna be a hit 

i can't stop thinking about tough i need it NOW
