Lucy Dacus drops Record Day song

Lucy Dacus released “Planting Tomatoes” to streaming services on Friday, April 24, after first issuing it as a Record Store Day exclusive 7-inch. (nme.com) (music.apple.com) Apple Music lists the single at 3 minutes and 35 seconds and dates the streaming release to April 24, 2026. Spotify also shows “Planting Tomatoes” as a one-song 2026 single. (music.apple.com) (open.spotify.com) Record Store Day had billed the song as a limited-edition red-vinyl release with a stem-shaped center label. The B-side was a demo version unavailable on the main digital single listing. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) NME described the streaming upload as Dacus’ first music of 2026. That makes “Planting Tomatoes” her first new public release since the post-*Forever Is A Feeling* run of singles and companion material in 2025. (nme.com) (stereogum.com) The move also changes who can hear the song. A Record Store Day exclusive is sold through participating independent shops on a set release date, while streaming puts the same track on services with no vinyl hunt required. (recordstoreday.com) (nme.com) Record Store Day’s official listing said “Planting Tomatoes” was Dacus’ first song since *Forever Is A Feeling* and described it as a song about staying present while facing mortality. The streaming release keeps that standalone track in circulation after the April 18 vinyl drop. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) Dacus’ Apple Music artist page now places “Planting Tomatoes” as her latest release and also hosts a lyric video for the song. The page still lists *Forever Is A Feeling* and *Forever Is A Feeling: The Archives* among her recent releases. (music.apple.com 1) (music.apple.com 2) For fans who missed the vinyl line, the song is no longer tied to one shopping day. “Planting Tomatoes” is now just a Lucy Dacus single, available wherever her catalog already lives.
