A video shows Del Rey in a car as a new track plays.
Lana Del Rey has shared a clip of unreleased music on social media that appears to reference Ethel Cain by name.
Posted on 13th August, the video shows Del Rey in a car as a new track plays. In the snippet, she is heard singing: "Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Think it’s cute reenacting my Chicago post". The line continues: "Hard to roll in slow motion / Hard to say no to precaution / Hard to stop when it’s like an ocean / Not afraid to say I’m going down in flames." Later in the clip, another passage states: "The most famous girl at the Waffle House / I don’t regret it / The most famous girl at the Waffle House".
The Waffle House reference mirrors the headline of a 2022 New York Times profile of Ethel Cain, titled “The Most Famous Girl At The Waffle House”. Del Rey, meanwhile, was seen serving coffee at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2023.
In 2022, Del Rey posted a photo outside Cook County Jail with Salem’s Jack Donoghue. Around the same time, Cain shared — and later deleted — a photo of herself with Donoghue on social media.
In earlier posts, Ethel Cain wrote: "I pushed her over when I ran past" and "She’ll never catch up to me in her Macy’s dress". She also referred to being compared to "the lady".
Del Rey is preparing her tenth album, renamed from 'Lasso' to 'The Right Person Will Stay'. She has already released two tracks from the project, 'Bluebird' and 'Henry, Come On'. The record is widely reported to lean into a country sound and will follow 2023’s 'Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd'.
