"Stay in Your Lane" belongs to Creature of Habit, Courtney Barnett's fourth album, which Mom + Pop released in March 2026. It's a record written on the far side of two big changes: the Australian songwriter's move from Melbourne to Los Angeles, and the 2023 shutdown of her label, Milk! Records.
She wrote this one alone and sings and plays guitar on it in a lean three-player lineup, with Zachary Dawes on bass and Stella Mozgawa on drums and percussion, while John Congleton produced and mixed. Critics warmed to the album, which drew generally favourable reviews and a Metacritic score of 80.
