Quavo and Lana Del Rey Romance Each Other in Steamy “Tough” Music Video

Lana Del Rey and Quavo have finally released their highly anticipated collaboration “Tough,” a country-trap fusion that arrived on Wednesday (July 3) alongside a captivating music video. Directed by Wyatt Spain Winfrey alongside the artists, the visuals depict the duo exploring a picturesque rural setting reminiscent of Del Rey’s iconic “National Anthem” video.

In the chorus, Del Rey croons about resilience, comparing her strength to worn-out leather boots and a blue-collar, red-dirt attitude[1][2][4]. Meanwhile, Quavo raps about taking a ride together amidst the pounding 808s, alluding to the challenges they’ve overcome to reach this point.

The music video showcases the pair’s undeniable chemistry as they cuddle amidst tall grass, share intimate moments near a cottage with an acoustic guitar, and cruise through the countryside. Quavo even gives Del Rey a shooting lesson with his shotgun, adding to the rustic charm of the visuals.

“Tough” is speculated to be featured on Del Rey’s upcoming country-inspired album “Lasso,” which she announced earlier this year. The collaboration arrives during a prolific year for Quavo, who has released several singles in 2024, including “Mink,” “Clear the Smoke,” and “Potato Loaded” with Destroy Lonely[5].

The release of “Tough” comes amid Quavo’s ongoing rap feud with Chris Brown, which reignited with April’s “Freak.” The pair traded a series of diss tracks, with Quavo’s “Over Hs & Bches (OHB)” containing a posthumous hook from Takeoff and a mention of Karrueche Tran. However, Tran has chosen to remain unbothered, focusing on living a peaceful life.

Fans can now immerse themselves in the enchanting world created by Lana Del Rey and Quavo through the “Tough” music video, which showcases their undeniable musical chemistry and shared love for the countryside.
