Watch Lucy Dacus Perform “Ankles” with a String Section on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”

Forever Is a Feeling Due Out March 28 via Geffen

Jan 16, 2025

Yesterday, Lucy Dacus announced a new album, Forever Is a Feeling, and shared two new songs from it, “Ankles” and “Limerence.” Last night she was the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she performed “Ankles” with a string section and was clad in the same dress she wore in the “Ankles” video. Watch the performance below.

Forever Is a Feeling is due out March 28 via Geffen. It is the follow-up to her 2021 album, Home Video, released by Matador. In 2023 she also released the record as part of boygenius, the supergroup featuring Dacus alongside Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers.

Bridgers, Baker, Blake Mills, Bartees Strange, Hozier, Madison Cunningham, Collin Pastore, Jake Finch, and Melina Duterte all contributed to the new album.

Dacus wrote most of the songs on the album between fall 2022 and summer 2024. “I got kicked in the head with emotions,” she says in a press release. “Falling in love, falling out of love…. You have to destroy things in order to create things. And I did destroy a really beautiful life.”

Of the album’s title, Dacus adds: “You can’t actually capture forever. But I think we feel forever in moments. I don’t know how much time I’ve spent in forever, but I know I’ve visited.”

The video for “Ankles” was filmed in Paris and features actress Havana Rose Liu alongside Dacus, who plays someone that has escaped from a famous painting. The album’s cover artwork is a different painting of Dacus by visual artist Will St. John.

For the new tour, Dacus has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes “to providing critical relief and long-term recovery support for individuals, families, and communities impacted by the devastating LA wildfires via the PLUS1 LA Fires Fund.”
