About this find

Video Games is the song that launched 'Lana Del Rey' into global fame and completely changed the course of her career. Released in 2011 as the lead single from her album Born to Die, it quickly became a worldwide phenomenon after Lana uploaded a self-edited music video to YouTube, featuring a collage of archival footage, vintage clips, and personal recordings. The song explores themes of love, devotion, and longing for someone who does not give the same level of attention in return, becoming a defining example of the melancholic romance and cinematic atmosphere that would later characterize Lana's artistry. Video Games achieved both critical and commercial success, topping charts in several countries and earning the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song. Over the years, the music video has accumulated hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, while the song itself has surpassed hundreds of millions of streams across digital platforms. Today, it remains one of Lana Del Rey’s most iconic and influential songs, widely regarded by fans and critics as the work that introduced the world to the artistic identity that would define her career for years to come.
