Delving into the track, ‘Henry, Come On’ is quite vague and interpretative within its lyricism, typical of Lana post ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell’, yet from its inception expresses a disappointment towards her lover, the first lyric asking “Henry, Come on / Do you think i’d really choose it?”.
Lana has always written candidly about her past relationships, this quality abundantly clear on this track, and is one of the many reasons why she has such a loyal cult female following, the relatable nature of her songs feeling benevolent.
This track was co-written with Luke Laird, who’s written with Carrie Underwood and Tim Mcgraw, a true indication of Lana’s dedication to a country sound within her upcoming tracks. This song is truly ethereal in its melody, sounding as airy and gentle as a track from ‘Honeymoon’ or ‘Lust For Life’, but of course, beholding a fresh quality that indicates a change in the world of Lana.
