Background and release

On May 9, 2024, a snippet of the song was shared on Instagram,[1] with a second snippet of the song being shared on June 19.[2] The following day, Del Rey performed at Fenway Park as part of her Festival Tour, where she brought out Quavo as a special guest and performed the song.

Music video

[edit]

The official music video for "Tough" was directed mainly by Wyatt Spain Winfrey, with additional directive work by Quavo and Del Rey themselves.[citation needed] The video mostly contains clips of the two singing with each other in open fields, in front of cars. The video ends with Del Rey in the passenger seat smiling at Quavo who is driving a truck.

Critical reception

[edit]

Upon release, Billboard said of the song; "A little bit country, a little bit trap and alt-pop, the Andrew Watt- and Cirkut-produced track has a dreamy hook that's tough to quit humming when the song's over".[4] Clash described the song as a "country-trap masterclass", while giving it an 8/10.[5]
