Lana Del Rey releases the highly-demanded Tiktok-famous Rick Nowels-produced piece of music titled “Say Yes To Heaven.” Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the song.
Gathering a large number of videos and views on TikTok and YouTube from leaks of the song, the demand for an official release continued growing. The demand was finally met in 2023, when the song had its long-awaited release.
It’s rumored that “Say Yes To Heaven” was first intended to be included on Ultraviolence, Del Rey’s third album, and recorded around 2013 along with other scrapped songs such as “Your Girl” and “Fine China.”
A snippet of the Ultraviolence version of “Say Yes To Heaven” first surfaced on the Internet in August 2016, just a few months before the complete song eventually leaked on December 24 through SoundCloud. Between 2017 and 2021, other versions of the song also appeared online, presumed to be outtakes from sessions for subsequent albums Honeymoon and Lust for Life.
In early 2023, reports of videos that featured the song being taken down due to copyright claims sparked discussion about an official release for “Say Yes To Heaven.” The speculation was later fueled weeks later when the song was found registered with a different length than that of leaks in PPL’s repertoire database.
On May 19, 2023, without any prior announcement, a fresh recording of “Say Yes To Heaven” was officially released to streaming services alongside a sped-up version of the song.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you dance, I’ll dance
And if you don’t, I’ll dance anyway
Give peace a chance
Let the fear you have fall away
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got my eye on you
I’ve got my eye on you
[Chorus]
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
[Verse 2]
If you go, I’ll stay
You come back, I’ll be right here
Like a barge at sea
In the storm, I stay clear
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve got my mind on you
I’ve got my mind on you
[Chorus]
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
[Verse 3]
If you dance, I’ll dance
I’ll put my red dress on, get it on
And if you fight, I’ll fight
It doesn’t matter now, it’s all gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got my mind on you
I got my mind on you
[Chorus]
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
[Outro]
I’ve got my eye on you
I’ve got my eye on you, mm
I’ve got my eye on you
I’ve got my eye on you
