The song features the two artists crooning together over acoustic guitars and metallic hi-hats, with Quavo offering up some of his famous ad-libs before the duo sing about “the blue collar, red dirt attitude.”
The rapper captioned his post: “Tough,” which appears to be the title of the song.
Check out the snippet below.
Lana Del Rey is no stranger to working with rappers. Back in 2017, she recruited The Weeknd for “Lust for Life,” which featured on her album of the same name. On that same album, she worked with Playboi Carti and A$AP Rocky on “Summer Bummer.”

She also collaborated with The Weeknd on two of his songs, “Stargirl Interlude” from his 2016 album Starboy and “Prisoner” from his 2015 LP Beauty Behind the Madness.
The new track with Quavo was originally teased last month.

The unlikely pair were spotted attending a Grammys party together earlier this year, and it appeared that their linking up had to do with the forthcoming song.
Back in May, the two shared a snippet of the unnamed song in a joint Instagram post, along with a photo of Lana and Quavo on a front porch with the caption: “If u come from where u come then u were born….Tough!”

“If you come to the North, I’ll show you around,” Quavo says on the intro. “Come take a ride with me. Whenever you ready, call on me.”
Quavo and Lana Del Rey‘s aforementioned joint appearance at a pre-Grammys party also ignited dating speculation earlier this year.

In February, the “Candy Necklace” singer and “Bad and Boujee” rapper were seen cozying up together in the back of car while arriving to a get-together at The Fleur Room in West Hollywood, California.
While they weren’t seen holding hands, the duo seemed to enjoy each other’s company as they both sported beaming smiles. After getting out of their ride, Quavo took the lead with Lana following just a few steps behind.
Since then, Quavo has been embroiled in a battle with Chris Brown after the latter dissed him for allegedly dating Karrueche Tran.
After exchanging multiple songs back-and-forth, Karrueche herself weighed in on the matter — and she wants to stay out of the middle of their mess.

“I don’t feel. It is what it is. I’m living my life,” she said in response to a question of how she felt about the diss tracks. “Working, paying my bills, taking time for myself and that’s all that matters. Whatever else is going on, I ain’t got nothing to do with it. I’m living a peaceful life. That’s all I want.”
She added: “I just don’t want any parts, I just want peace and happiness. I want to work and thrive.”
