I don't think this song will be on iTunes yet. She'll make us wait another month, and then do the proper release starting with the lead single MTWBT, the album pre-order, the video....
Yes we do (or 90% do).
I mean the models did say that was the title (not very reliable but still...).
The set and concept had a lot of male models which goes with the title.
She said two videos were shot so it has to be MTWBT and Honeymoon (directed by her).
When she shared the pic of the director she said he directed the mv of the first single .
Plus in the her instagram posts today she kept saying first song off the album and not first single.

I already know all of this. And still we have no clue. The models know ****
Lana Del Rey’s ‘Honeymoon’ Lyric Video Is Here — And Weird
I mean, she's sleeping by the highway...
I always had a weird fantasy of living in a highway median — you know, among the manicured bushes and trees. Super strange, right? Well, it appears Lana Del Rey has some similarly dark ’n’ twisted fantasies — at least according to the intro to her lyric video for “Honeymoon.”
They're right the video does look very weird (like Ultraviolence's video was). I have high hopes for the next video though and not this mess! I mean she's lying on the grass facing the highway and don't forget that random ass tiger.
Lana Del Rey Just Delivered Perhaps Her Most Heart-Stopping Ballad Yet With New Single ‘Honeymoon
It's strange to think that, once upon a time, the fuss about Lana Del Rey all hinged upon reinvention. As word of her old-timey heartache-pop spread quickly in October 2011 with the phenomenal viral success of 'Video Games', so did debate about just how "real" the character on-screen was. The transformation of New York singer Lizzie Grant into the "gangster Nancy Sinatra" saw her accused by some of the terrible, treacherous crime of inauthenticity. "It's all an act!" cried commenters, as her past was dragged up by internet sleuths. One of the most magical things about pop music is how it allows people to make their own beginnings and choose their own stories, whether it's Brixton lad David Jones becoming a dangerously sexy and androgynous rockstar alien or a dour Manchester youth called Steven Patrick ditching his first two names and become a provincial romantic poet instead. Like Bowie, or Morrissey, or Madonna or Prince before her, Del Rey was just evolving into something else.
Which makes it interesting that, for the past four years, Lana has stuck pretty rigidly to the same blueprint. Sure, there's been the odd cosmetic change – a Black Key roped in on production duties here, switching clunky hip-hop affectations for laid-back desert rock there. In the end though, her aesthetic has stayed pretty much still, honed and honed towards arresting torch song perfection. 'Honeymoon', the first taste and title track from her forthcoming third album, suggests it's not going to change any time soon, either. This new track, dropped earlier today, is a sultry waltz with velvety strings that swell and sting, with Del Rey's voice sounding richer than ever before. We've been here before with Lana: a sweeping, gorgeous ballad that's big on faded glamour and fancy danger, that sounds like it could have been lifted from the Blue Velvet soundtrack or blaring out of the radio between news bulletins on the Black Dahlia murders.
Some might express disappointment that Del Rey isn't scribbling outside of those same old lines. And alright, she returns once more the lyrical tropes that have appeared on so many of her songs before - bad boys and the women who follow them around with puppy eyes. "We both know the history of violence that surrounds you," she croons. "But I'm not scared, there's nothing to lose now that I found you." You can't help but wish she'd rip up the script and tell him to sling his hook, to stop wasting her time, that she could probably do much better without him because she's Lana Del ****ing Rey. But then, there's also something comforting about those old ticks and references, too, from the idea of her and her beau cruising around "Wilshire Boulevard" as they listen to the blues on the radio to the point where, four minutes in, a soft, splashy snare roll starts up that's practically a dead-ringer for the closing sequence in 'Video Games', too. And there's that killer opening line, in which Del Rey seemingly makes a snarky reference to all the snark she's faced down over the years: "We both know that it's not fashionable to love me but you don't go cause truly there's nobody for you but me." Fashions, of course, come and go. On 'Honeymoon' Lana doesn't really push her style forward, but nor does she need to when the emotional thrills and spills are as cinematic and sublime as they are here. Album three can't come soon enough.

Just because she said first song doesnt mean its not the first single this probably is the first single considering I dont think there will be much promo for any of the singles, and why does everyone think MTWBT is on the album?

It's not the first single lol. And MTWBT is on the album because she announced the album on Billboard with that song being part of it plus the Nina Simone cover

!!! i just read this. I agree with them. I really really love this. It reminds of old disney movie soundtracks it's so perfect. how can someone not love this perfection?
I completely understand if and why people don't like this song. It's not even close to her best. It's pretty and cinematic, but eeeeh? Idk. I get that it is a little boring tbh, I wish there was more going on. It doesn't seem finished
Trap on the new album?

I just hope there are more upbeat tracks on the album. Not generic pop garbage like mainstream pop girls.... But upbeat like BTD was or some of her unreleased
