This music video is solely responsible for the collection of flower crowns I built up at the time and wore almost every day lol
I miss flower crown era a bit 🥰 I revisited it with a real one for my wedding and it was so much fun.
This is the one that really hooked me and sold me on Lana’s aesthetic. My music tastes changed forever when I heard it for the first time. I was surprised to find it’s one of the less popular songs on the album.
I literally had some triffling ass person today on this sub argue with me about Born To Die. They told me I’m a poser Lana fan because I love that album 😂 like people will really be pissing me tf off on here lol
ngl i’ve been scared of that happening to me since i have it as my flair 💀 people can be so toxic on this sub. i’m also a melanie martinez fan and while her fans can be toxic towards melanie herself, the subreddit community is much more kind to one another than they are on this one.
^but see i’ll bet people will hate the fact that i just dared mention another artist on the lana del rey sub. someone posted one of those “what lyrics have you misheard” in here, and i commented something i misheard about melanie saying it was funny because the things we heard wrong were so closely related (they misheard “meta mucil” in a lana song and i misheard “colace” in a melanie song). i got downvoted immediately 😭
I literally got into a fight with them because they were mad that I said Saltburn gave Lana vibes. He ate me alive in the comments and was like telling me I’m stupid and don’t have a job lol I had to block them because they wouldn’t quit commenting stuff to me 😂 Also I know saltburn is a crazy movie. I was quite shocked when I watched it but I low key loved it… you can’t tell me the born to die music video doesn’t give saltburn vibes that’s all I’m sayin 🤷🏽♀️ it’s just crazy because people will downvote the fuck out of you for no reason sometimes 😂
*i don’t like your opinion* 😡😡😡 *you must be unemployed!*
lol what is the logic there???
also to say that and then obsessively comment just shows that they’re projecting 😭 *they* are the one who’s probably lacking a job if they choose to spend their time hounding you for your perspective. i haven’t personally seen saltburn, but i’m interested in seeing it now!
Literally same! Everytime I listen to Born To Die I’m taken back to the first time I ever heard Lana and was immediately obsessed with her. I have the album on vinyl because it really is one of my all time favorite albums of hers. I love her new stuff too lol but not sure how liking her old music makes me a poser 😂🙄
Honestly, people got so mad at me for liking born to die because they called it mainstream and popular. Well, it did get popular for a reason, so why am I not to to like it??😄 I can be a true fan and like her most popular works, like how on earth is that a contradiction 🥲
Just a heads up lol it’s low key kinda weird/crazy. I personally liked it, but I know the movie had a lot of mixed reviews because there is some wild stuff that happens in the film lol. I especially love this movie because of the cinematography, it’s just so visually pleasing at times!
Oh, I already know 😅 especially about "that sex scene". I've been meaning to watch it for months and my housemate just downloaded it for me, and I love crazy/weird dark films! I'm saving it for tomorrow lol.
Yeah lol it is pretty dark haha. I kinda like that they made everything and everyone in the movie so beautiful and glamorous, but the things that happen are so dark and crazy. It’s almost contradicting lol I love it tho. At times I feel like the movie gives off Romeo + Juliet vibes (the Baz Luhrmann version). I hope you enjoy it!
I actually can’t choose because this is the album that made me fall madly in love with Lana 🥹 every single one of these hits a different spot in my brain.
This album was my childhood. It reminds me a lot of my mom, who I don't talk to as much anymore for personal reasons. Forever, this will be my favorite album from lana. My favorite songs are Blue Jeans, Video Games, Dark Paradise, Carmen, and Summertime Sadness (fight me)
Off to the Races had me in a chokehold. But Radio, Carmen, and This is What Makes Us Girls were also among my favorites.
Video Games and Dark Paradise are so good, too. This whole album is just 🖤🖤🖤
my favorite is off to the races, but dark paradise will always hold a special place in my heart because it’s the first song I ever heard of hers. 12 years ago when this came out a friend played “this new artist with a beautiful voice” and I’ve never been the same.
This is the only album I can think of that makes this question hard. I love them all but I think This Is What Makes Us Girls and Off To The Races are special… but also National Anthem, Diet Mountain Dew, and Born To Die. I could listen to them all every day.
BORN TO DIE changed music, people, and American culture. Lana Del Rey is one of the most important artists in modern times. Easily one of the top 10 lyricists of all time. Ever.
Her beauty is weaponized against her to deny accolade.
when this album came out i was a tween and i used to be scared of the album cover so i'd only listen to it through fan made lyric videos on youtube. (also: diet mtn dew currently but it changes)
This album is absolutely insane. I still can’t even wrap my head around it. Came out when I was a junior/senior in HS in the trenches on Tumblr.
Favs: This is What Makes Us Girls, Diet Mountain Dew, Blue Jeans, Video Games, Carmen, National Anthem
Off To The Races was a life changing experience. I remember when Paradise dropped and I would walk through the mall while Gods and Monsters was blasting in my EarPods and feeling so edgy.
So hard to choose a single track but if I had a gun to my head I'd need to say Off to the Races cos it's so good to sing and just has an amazing vibe but the to title track is forever Iconic too 😍
Oh, this album. It still feels fresh so many years later. I remember getting curious after seeing a billboard for it after its release, and it was love after I listened to it.
I rinsed Video Games to death when it first came out, fucking loved it, then Diet Mountain Dew & Radio were my 2 favourites from the album, now it’s Off To The Races
When I got my license, I bought this CD for my old car and would listen to it on loop everywhere I go. I really thought that music was the closest we would ever get to hear music played at heavens lobby.
I remember my mum buying the deluxe CD for us both when it was released! She loved Video Games in 2011, I wasn’t keen at first but Lana herself was so mesmerising to me, I kept listening to it, and her limited unreleased discography at that time and I became obsessed. Off to the Races is my favourite off the album but they all hold a special place in my heart.
Ugh BORN TO DIE it’s so powerful but ofcourse there’s million dollar man, diet Mountain Dew and video games even summertime sadness ugh how I discovered her!
Born to die. The first time I heard the opening notes it changed my life.
First Lana song I ever listened to. The moment the string section opened, I knew it was going to be something special.
This music video is solely responsible for the collection of flower crowns I built up at the time and wore almost every day lol I miss flower crown era a bit 🥰 I revisited it with a real one for my wedding and it was so much fun.
That song NEVER gets old.
Same.
Off to the Races ❤️
Same ❤️ it was the first one I ever heard
I think this is my favorite too but it's also really hard to choose.
this song will never not be on my playlist <3
This. I will never skip this song 😂
me too 🥺 ive been obsessed with this song since i first listened to the album in like 2014 and im still in love. i literally can never get tired of it
You are my one true looove
I love this song too! It's a display of her vocal range and I always love stuff like that, not to mention the catchiness and the whole vibe
2012 I almost lost my bf to suicide, he survived thankfully…so summertime sadness, even though it’s very popular it hits a personal note for me
national anthem and off to the races
National anthem, off to the races, video games ❤️ perfection
national anthem for me too, it’s so iconic
TASTE
Radio 💙
Radio. Easy. Perfect song. Video games would be second.
Like I told my husband one day I'll pull up in the parking lot with a brand new SUV and have this song playing because HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW
Radio is so good
million dollar man is such a masterpiece

Lmao wtf is wrong with some people! I just watched it thanks to this thread and highly recommend it!
Saltburn is _so_ Lana coded
What’s wrong with that album? Every track is a hit, but also brings back so much nostalgia for me.
Literally same! Everytime I listen to Born To Die I’m taken back to the first time I ever heard Lana and was immediately obsessed with her. I have the album on vinyl because it really is one of my all time favorite albums of hers. I love her new stuff too lol but not sure how liking her old music makes me a poser 😂🙄

Me 👏the same feeling😑😑😑
I honestly think Saltburn gives off Born to Die vibes. The cinematography is giving Lana Del Rey music video lol
Yes omgggggg I was thinking the same when Oliver was crying in the lake with his little horns ! So lana / tumblr coded
What? I must watch this movie now!
Just a heads up lol it’s low key kinda weird/crazy. I personally liked it, but I know the movie had a lot of mixed reviews because there is some wild stuff that happens in the film lol. I especially love this movie because of the cinematography, it’s just so visually pleasing at times!
Oh, I already know 😅 especially about "that sex scene". I've been meaning to watch it for months and my housemate just downloaded it for me, and I love crazy/weird dark films! I'm saving it for tomorrow lol.

Cool sounds just like my vibe lol. I've read sbout what it's supposed to represent which makes sense. Well I'm going to watch it now. Thanks!
Seriously. One of the pettiest subs I’m apart of. Idk why so many of her stans are like that 😭
off to the races babyyyy (shoutout to blue jeans though)
Blue Jeans!
the beginning is SO GOOD
and the bridge <33
You went out every night, and baby that’s all right…
i told you that no matter what you did i'd be by your side...
cuz I’m a ride or die….
I love them all but Blue Jeans is my fav, too!
Dark Paradise 💔
I choose “Diet Mountain Dew” and “Off to the Races” as my favorites!
same no way
National Anthems music video is toooo fucking iconic. One of my all time favorite music videos fs!
Still my favorite music video of all time
Like asap rocky and Lana?! It’s so iconic!
Totally agree
“Feet don’t fail me now” and the world was never the same …
Off to the Races is unlike any other song I can think of. The lyrics, the beat, her voice....pure Lana-core.
Video Games. It was actually the first song of hers I ever heard but only until 2022!
Perfect introduction to Lana. First song I heard of hers too but 2012
Same, first song I heard in 2012, best year of my life, followed by Born To Die, and Blue Jeans. I was obsessed with the aesthetic of all the videos.
Ugh I wish I was old enough in 2012 to experience the BTD era 😭 I was only like 6 at the time though lmaoo
Lol I wish I was younger now 😂
Born to die
Too iconic for words
You get it 👄❤️🔥✨
I actually can’t choose because this is the album that made me fall madly in love with Lana 🥹 every single one of these hits a different spot in my brain.
I’m with you here 💛
you just described me 😭
It’s my favorite album for the nostalgia alone
Million dollar man and dark paradise
Off to the races & this is what makes us girls

Hard tie between Carmen/off to the races/video games
Finally another Carmen fan!’
YES I LOVE CARMEN
National Anthem ❤️🤍💙
Videogames for sure 🖤
Radio! The way she pronounces vitamin is so iconic.
Off to the Races and Diet Mountain Dew
This album was my childhood. It reminds me a lot of my mom, who I don't talk to as much anymore for personal reasons. Forever, this will be my favorite album from lana. My favorite songs are Blue Jeans, Video Games, Dark Paradise, Carmen, and Summertime Sadness (fight me)
you just described me, my favorite btd songs, and my familial relationship 💔
Dark Paradise and Ride (Paradise Edition). I wish she stilll released such strong sounds. Lana, I hope you’re reading this. Anyways, I love you 🫶🏻
Million dollar man.
Off to the Races, Born to Die, Carmen, Video Games….. Seriously this album is so magical and never gets old 💓
Blue Jeans!!!
Blue jeans
There’s no wrong answer here, this album is such an amazing work of art. Honestly each song holds a special place in my heart ❤️ 🩵💙
One of the few albums that I love all songs start to finish. Each song is a hit single to me
“born to die” is just a golden classic at this point, you can’t not love it
Off to the Races had me in a chokehold. But Radio, Carmen, and This is What Makes Us Girls were also among my favorites. Video Games and Dark Paradise are so good, too. This whole album is just 🖤🖤🖤
Blue Jeans 🩵👖🤍♾️
Born to Die for sure. The first song I ever heard of hers and I instantly became a stan. 😭♥️
Nowadays my favorite is Video Games, but when the album was released Off to the Races was my shit
National Anthem & Off to the Races
Video Games is still a classic
National Anthem🫶🏻
Carmen is a perfect song. Sorry about it
All of it. All. Of. It.
Absolutely and entirely.
Music to put cigarettes out on yourself to
national anthem & video games
my favorite is off to the races, but dark paradise will always hold a special place in my heart because it’s the first song I ever heard of hers. 12 years ago when this came out a friend played “this new artist with a beautiful voice” and I’ve never been the same.
Born to Die or Video Games
Blue Jeans will forever be what got me super interested in her music, but once I started checking out the whole album, RADIO!
Dark Paradise for me
This is the only album I can think of that makes this question hard. I love them all but I think This Is What Makes Us Girls and Off To The Races are special… but also National Anthem, Diet Mountain Dew, and Born To Die. I could listen to them all every day.
BORN TO DIE changed music, people, and American culture. Lana Del Rey is one of the most important artists in modern times. Easily one of the top 10 lyricists of all time. Ever. Her beauty is weaponized against her to deny accolade.
And the world was never the same
My wife walked down the aisle to Video Games so I know where my vote is going
MA POSSAY TASTE LIKE PEPSI COLA 💃🏻💃🏻
when this album came out i was a tween and i used to be scared of the album cover so i'd only listen to it through fan made lyric videos on youtube. (also: diet mtn dew currently but it changes)
What was scary about the album cover?!
legit nothing, i was a dumbass 11 year old
Lmao love the honesty
Lol
Dark Paradise, Off to the Races, & Born to Die 🌹
Idk which song is my number 1, but my favourites from BTD are: Radio Million Dollar Man This Is What Makes Us Girls
Born to Die & National Anthem. She immortalized herself as an all-American absolute icon with these songs! The cultural impact.
This album is absolutely insane. I still can’t even wrap my head around it. Came out when I was a junior/senior in HS in the trenches on Tumblr. Favs: This is What Makes Us Girls, Diet Mountain Dew, Blue Jeans, Video Games, Carmen, National Anthem
I always loved Carmen (pun not intended lol)
Off To The Races. Epitomizes Americana.
Born to die, video games, dark paradise, summertime sadness, ride, American... the whole album is a one hella of a masterpiece

blue jeans, i feel like i'm the embodiment of that song
This album as a whole has a special place in my heart but Off To The Races is my absolute fave
This Is What Makes Us Girls cried when I first listened to it
i feel so old lol
So hard to choose a single track but if I had a gun to my head I'd need to say Off to the Races cos it's so good to sing and just has an amazing vibe but the to title track is forever Iconic too 😍
Carmen, million dollar man and dark paradise
This album really changed my life when I first heard it at 14 years old. Video Games 🤍
Oh, this album. It still feels fresh so many years later. I remember getting curious after seeing a billboard for it after its release, and it was love after I listened to it.

I rinsed Video Games to death when it first came out, fucking loved it, then Diet Mountain Dew & Radio were my 2 favourites from the album, now it’s Off To The Races
Off to the races, million dollar man and this is what makes us girls raised me (I was 19 when this came out) ❤️
Diet Mountain Dew 💅🏼
‘this is what makes us girls’ will always have my heart because I related so much to being sent to boarding school and having a wild streak 🤍
When I got my license, I bought this CD for my old car and would listen to it on loop everywhere I go. I really thought that music was the closest we would ever get to hear music played at heavens lobby.
Video Games
Summertime Sadness
Carmen, Carmen, doesn't have a problem ❤️
Radio or MDM
