A 14-minute presentation, Lana Del Rey’s latest video also contains the visual components for “Bartender” and “Happiness is a butterfly.”
“It was staggered with references from living in Hollywood and seeing so many things that didn’t look right to me, things that I never thought I’d have permission to talk about, because everyone knew and no one ever said anything,” Lana Del Rey explained to Billboard when opening up about the themes and content of Norman Fucking Rockwell!. “The culture only changed in the last two years as to whether people would believe you. And I’ve been in this business now for 15 years!
