Lucy Dacus put “Planting Tomatoes” on streaming services on April 24, a week after the song debuted as a Record Store Day-exclusive 7-inch single.

(recordstoreday.com) Apple Music lists the streaming release as a one-song single running three minutes, and Spotify added the track under Dacus’s artist page this week. (music.apple.com) (open.spotify.com) Universal Music Canada said Dacus released the song with a lyric video filmed in Tokyo and described it as being about “a sincere effort to stay present” while confronting loss and aging. (universalmusic.ca) The streaming drop gives Dacus her first new music of 2026. Rolling Stone and NME both framed it as her first release since the campaign around *Forever Is a Feeling*. (rollingstone.com) (nme.com) DIY reported that “Planting Tomatoes” follows Dacus’s 2025 album *Forever Is a Feeling* and the later double single “Bus Back To Richmond” / “More Than Friends.” (diymag.com) Multiple outlets reported that Dacus first played the song live in February during Laneway Festival in Auckland, months before the vinyl and streaming releases. (nme.com) (musicianvoice.com) For fans who missed the Record Store Day pressing, the change is simple: a song that was briefly tied to a physical-only release is now available on the major streaming platforms Dacus uses for her catalog.
