Back when Taylor Swift announced that she collaborated with Lana Del Rey for a song on her Midnights album, fans were so excited to hear them on a track together.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift has lived up to her self-proclaimed “Mastermind” status with the Thursday night/Friday morning release of fresh versions of two “Midnights” songs. In one, which she spices up “Karma” with an all-new verse from arguably the hottest rapper of the moment, Ice Spice. In the other, bluntly subtitled “(Featuring More Lana Del Rey),” Swift all but cedes the aural spotlight to the guest artist who was formerly inaudible on the track, Lana Del Rey. Ice Spice makes a few interjections here and there in Swift’s verses in “Karma” — she adds an affirmative “Facts!” after Swift sings, “Karma takes all my friends to the summit” — and she also gets the first and last words in this remix (“Karma is that girl, like” and a concluding “Karma’s gonna hold you down”). Mostly, though, she’s afforded an all-new second verse, with lyrics including: “Karma is your checks by the bounce / Karma is the fire in your house / And she ’bout to pop up unannounced.”

Taylor Swift said 'meet you at midnight'...and she means it.

Nepotism usually flows from parent to child, but not in the case of Lana Del Rey.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift announced a new deluxe edition of her “Midnights” album, titled “Midnights: Til Dawn,” that will feature Ice Spice as her guest on a fresh version of “Karma” and additional, newly recorded lead vocals from Lana Del Rey on their “Snow on the Beach” collaboration. Digital and physical editions will each have a format-exclusive track. For the digital release, it will be “Hits Different,” a song that was previously only available on the Target version of “Midnights.” More interestingly for fans, the physical edition will have a “Vault” track never before heard from the “Midnights” writing sessions. The all-new song is titled “You’re Losing Me,” the title of which will obviously set fans’ minds aflutter even before they hear it, given recent revelations about Swift’s personal life.

Lana Del Rey has always been singular among her own musical peer group, but fans have known for years now that Lana has one defining factor that makes her catalogue far more unique. One thing that her brand new single, Say Yes To Heaven, has made abundantly clear.

Lana Del Rey looks to have struck gold by opening the vaults of her unreleased music – with Say Yes To Heaven on track for this week’s highest new entry (6). If it maintains momentum it would be Lana’s first solo Top 10 single in the UK since Born To Die in 2012.

Lana Del Rey has shared the previously unreleased track "Say Yes To Heaven." Press materials note that the song was written by Del Rey in 2012 alongside Rick Nowels. A version of the song, written prior to the release of 2014 album Ultraviolence, leaked online a few years ago and became something of a grail for Del Rey's fans.

Lana Del Rey has shared a previously-unreleased song called ‘Say Yes To Heaven’ – listen to it below.Recorded back in 2013, the standalone track was originally intended to feature on the singer-songwriter’s third studio album ‘Ultraviolence’ (2014).As Stereogum notes, numerous iterations of the cut have since appeared online. Last year saw a sped-up snippet from ‘Say Yes To Heaven’ go viral on TikTok.Fans then noticed this March that the song had been copyrighted by UMG/Polydor, ahead of its official release today (May 19).
