In a welcome return, Australian indie rock artist Courtney Barnett has released her first new music in two years. On October 16, 2025, Barnett shared the single "Stay in Your Lane" along with an accompanying music video directed by filmmaker Alex Ross Perry.
Barnett recorded the new track in a Los Angeles studio, joined by Warpaint drummer Stella Mozgawa, The Last Shadow Puppets' Zach Dawes on bass, and producer John Congleton. According to a press release, the song was written as Barnett worked through the stress of bottling up feelings and airing grievances.
The release of "Stay in Your Lane" marks Barnett's first new material since her 2023 instrumental album End of the Day. Her last full-length studio album was 2021's Things Take Time, Take Time. Fans can look forward to Barnett's next studio album, which will be the fifth of her career.
In the coming weeks, Barnett will bring "Stay in Your Lane" to the national stage, performing the new song on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on October 22. This television appearance will showcase Barnett's return to the spotlight after a two-year hiatus.
