And so it actually was a blessing because I got to figure out what they were tuning into—what they said was so dark—that I didn’t see. And everyone’s like, “The storytelling is amazing, and I love that they’re baring it all.” I always felt with me that there was some catch-22 and I wasn’t sure what it was for a long time. I was like, “What are they seeing in this shadow side that I’m not seeing?” That opened a door for me to think about the way everything had gone from when I was little up until now. Then, I cracked the code and realized they were tapping into the fact that there was something a little weird and different going on with me, but I didn’t really know that. That was quite tough, because at the time, I was just trying to figure things out. I know that the process I went through is not the process a lot of people went through.

During a recent interview, Billie Eilish revealed that Lana Del Rey was the lock screen on her very first mobile phone. She first gained major attention as a singer with her debut single 'Video Games' in 2011 and has since released multiple successful albums, including Born to Die and Lust for Life. She made the revelation while in an interview with Del Rey herself for Interview magazine.

Lana Del Rey explained that she didn't want to share the nude image in reaction to criticism.

She added about the cover: "The idea behind it was, instead of being exposed for things that weren't true, I wanted to reveal something about myself that I actually thought was beautiful, but in the end, I got nervous about doing that because I was like, 'Is this an artistic inspiration that came to me or is this a reaction to something I feel is critical about me?'" Speaking to Billie Eilish for Interview Magazine, she said: "My original cover was nude, then I thought about it, and I was like, maybe not right now, because there are some other things I want to do where I feel like that could get in the way." Lana Del Rey scrapped her naked album cover for 'Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd' because she was "too nervous" to put it out there.

"The songs are so wordy that if you listen to them carefully, they're revealing in the same way the photo would've been," explained the pop star in a recent ...

I was like, ‘Okay, I’ll let the songs do the talking for now.’” “My original cover was nude, then I thought about it, and I was like, maybe not right now, because there are some other things I want to do where I feel like that could get in the way,” she explained to Eilish. “But the good thing is that the songs are so wordy that if you listen to them carefully, they’re revealing in the same way the photo would’ve been. “I never liked to do anything in response to something that’s fear-based or based on what people think about me,” she continued. Designed by Neil Krug, the Ocean Blvd cover ended up being a blue-toned black and white image of Lana, lying on her stomach with ribbons in her hair, resting her head in her hand as she stares moodily at the camera.

Lana Del Rey is further, gloriously unspooled in a seven-minute track that includes a rap.

At seven minutes, it starts like a spontaneous, piano-driven wordy stream not unlike most of the tracks on her last, Blue Banisters — vocals a step above a voice memo, background noise mingling aside the instruments. In the very beginning it was, for many, all too much — the summahtime sadness and [Pepsi Cola-flavored p****](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBakG7KtVZE), [daddy issues](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_-3di1yx0) collected like trading cards. This is Lana walking the tightrope between her plasticky pop roots and her contemporary folk minimalism — vulnerable, but not enough to give up on a good time.

The queen of bluesy pop, Lana Del Rey (real name Elizabeth Woolridge Grant), has done it again. She just dropped the second song off her upcoming album "Did ...

About four minutes and three minutes into "A&W," the tempo changes, and Lana goes into the second part of the song titled, "Jimmy." Look at the length of it there and the shape of my body. She questions whether she is like the main character of the movie. This is the experience of being an American wh-re." [“Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mLjZRAXRRA) by Little Anthony & The Imperials to help tell this story. In "A&W," Lana is inferring that she's inviting men to her hotel room to have meaningless sex. The lyrics read: "I mean, look at my hair. Do you really think I give a damn what I do after years of just hearing them talking?" I mean, look at me, look at the length of my hair, my face, the shape of my body. She sings: "I haven’t done a cartwheel since I was nine. Keep reading for all the details. We've unpacked the lyrics below.

On Feb. 14, Lana Del Rey released "A&W," the second single from her upcoming album. The song is a gripping trap-folk ballad about feminine sexuality.

“Call him up, come into my bedroom / Ended up, we f*ck on the hotel floor / It’s not about having someone to love me anymore / This is the experiеnce of being an American whore,” she croons in the chorus. Throughout this section, Lana half-raps about how enamored she is with a man named Jimmy, even though he’s a destructive character. As she sweeps through the two more verses, the track takes a sonic turn. She’s so burnt out that she no longer cares if the world views her as an “American whore” — the acronym of the track’s title. She harps on her appearance, expressing how those around her have sexualized “her face” and the “shape of her body” unprovoked for years. Lana Del Rey wouldn’t be the artist she is today without creating experimental ballads.

Each subsequent album has seen an evolution in the sardonic singer/songwriter as she injects a zeitgeist's worth of material into her ever more ambitious ...

“This is the experience of being an American whore.” Across the first half of the track, Del Rey traverses unflinchingly a landscape of dark moments that have attached themselves to her sexuality. From the shock of being found a “side piece at thirty-three” to sexual violence (“If I told you that I was raped, do you really think that anybody would think I didn’t ask for it, didn’t ask for it? But about halfway through the track producer Jack Antonoff gives one of his unique switch-ups as the song breaks down into groovy chastisement of a reoccurring character in Del Rey’s music: Jimmy. Each subsequent album has seen an evolution in the sardonic singer/songwriter as she injects a zeitgeist’s worth of material into her ever more ambitious compositions. Encased in her dutiful melancholy she continues the arduous act of demystifying and collapsing the varying myths of Americana her early music was once made so glamorously rapt by. 1](https://www.ticketmaster.com/billboard-women-in-music-inglewood-california-03-01-2023/event/0A005E2428380B34).
