Lana Del Rey releases a new track: listen to "First Light"

Lana Del Rey has released “First Light,” a track created to accompany “007 First Light,” a video game due out on May 27 that reimagines the origins of James Bond.

The song was written and composed by Del Rey herself alongside David Arnold, a historic figure closely tied to the Bond sound.

Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive, stressed the importance of the collaboration, noting how the meeting of these two artists delivers a theme instantly recognizable as belonging to the 007 universe, while still introducing an updated identity. The character's return in video game form is thus accompanied by a musical component designed to heighten its impact.

Arnold reiterated the complexity of the Bond theme, traditionally called upon to condense tension, elegance and a sense of mystery, explaining that he worked in keeping with this legacy without giving up on stylistic evolution. In this context, Lana Del Rey's contribution was geared toward an atmospheric feel that stays true to tradition while remaining open to new shades.

“007 First Light” develops an alternative narrative about Bond's origins, following his first steps into the world of espionage.

A few weeks ago also came “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” the new single by Lana Del Rey, the first piece of her tenth studio album expected in the spring. The track was written by the New York singer-songwriter together with her sister Chuck Grant, her brother-in-law Jason Pickens and her husband Jeffrey Dufrene. Production is credited to Lana Del Rey herself, alongside Jack Antonoff and Drew Erickson, who handled the string arrangements. The mix was done by Dean Reid and Laura Sisk. “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” follows the 2025 singles “Henry, Come On” and “Bluebird,” and precedes an album expected in about three months. The record will arrive three years after Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, released in March 2023.

The American singer-songwriter has shared a few updates on the new album, long awaited and repeatedly delayed. The record will serve as the follow-up to 2023's “Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”, which she had already begun talking about back in 2025. Over the months the project has changed identity several times: initially titled “Lasso”, it was later renamed “The Right Person Will Stay”, with a release date first pushed to May and then to September 2025.

Del Rey finally revealed that “White Feather-Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” includes songwriting credits from her husband Jeremy as well, with production handled, among others, by Jack Antonoff.
