Background[edit]

"Lady" is a song for Young's daughter, Presley Elizabeth, but it's also for Young's wife Taylor Mills. Young said: ""Lady" is maybe one of the most special songs I've ever written. I knew from the moment that my wife and I even started discussing having children that I was gonna want to write songs for my kid. I thought for sure it would after they were born and I got to know them a little bit—something would inspire me".[2]

Music video[edit]

The video was uploaded on June 18, 2020, directed by Seth Kupersmith.[3] The video was shot with a camera and a drone and following social distance guidelines.[4] The family shown getting ready for a day at the beach and in the same cabana Young filmed his solo scenes.
