Video Games (song)

Edit
This page uses Creative Commons Licensed content from Wikipedia (view authors).

"Video Games" is Lana Del Rey's debut single, co-written with Justin Parker in 2010 and produced by Robopop in 2011. Taken from Del Rey's first major-label album Born to Die, the song served as the album's first and lead single worldwide and is credited for the launch of Del Rey's international success. The song was officially released as a single worldwide on October 16, 2011.

Background[]

A demo of the song leaked on April 9, 2012. The song's instrumental then leaked on September 17. The unmastered version of the song - featured on a French promotional CD - surfaced on August 14, 2016. Both the studio and dry a cappella files from the song leaked on July 30, 2018.

Writing and inspiration[]

In an interview with British online magazine The Quietus, Del Rey stated that the inspiration for the song came from her gamer ex-boyfriend: "I think we came together because we were both outsiders. It was perfect. But I think with that contentment also comes sadness. There was something heavenly about that life – we'd go to work and he'd play his video games – but also it was maybe too regular."[1] She has stated that the song is a statement about her putting her musical career on hold for her lover. Del Rey originally had no plans for "Video Games" to be released as a single, as she assumed it would struggle to gain traction.[citation needed]

In a 2012 interview with MTV Buzzworthy, Del Rey mentioned that every man in her life has been consumed by World of Warcraft, making it her least favorite video game.[2] Josh Kemp, one of Del Rey's ex-boyfriends, is said to have been the inspiration behind the song, as rumored for years. He seemingly alluded to the fact that it was his obsession with World of Warcraft that led to the writing of the song. On Instagram, he shared a video of Del Rey performing the track live with the caption: "When your World of Warcraft addiction turns from self deprecating, anti-social depression into iconic and legendary... embrace your darkness...you never know who's watching."[3]

About the songwriting, Del Rey in 2011 told Dazed:[4]

"The verse was about the way things were with one person, and the chorus was the way that I wished things had really been with another person, who I thought about for a long time...That was what happened, you know? He'd come home and I'd see him. But then the chorus...wasn't like that. That was the way that I wished it was – the melody sounds so compelling and heavenly because I wanted it to be that way. The verse is more matter-of-fact because that's how it was. It's a mix of memories and the way I wished it could have been."

Composition[]

Musically, "Video Games" is a down-tempo ballad with highly orchestrated instrumentation. It is composed in the key of F♯ minor, and is in common time with a tempo of around 60 beats per minute. Instrumentally, the song features pizzicato strings, swathing strings, harps, and violins. The song lacks any major percussion instruments but does feature minor thumping in the latter half. Del Rey's vocals range from E3 to A4, and the song showcases a lower vocal range than she had used previously. The crescendos, as well as feathery backing vocals, create a subdued and haunting atmosphere that was praised by critics.

Critical reception[]

"Video Games" was met with critical acclaim from music critics. Ian Cohen of Pitchfork honored the song with the "Best New Track" distinction in August of 2011, commenting, "[the song] flits between surrendering to romance and depression, moving with the elegant wastefulness of the kind of day drunk that's a true privilege of the beautiful, idle class."[5] Digital Spy writer Robert Copsey wrote that Del Rey's comparison to Nancy Sinatra "hit the nail on the proverbial" with the release of the "old-glamour doom-pop ballad"", which "combines a near-identical [Nancy Sinatra] vocal with [Del Rey's] own fascination for the tragically glamorous — or 'Hollywood sadcore' as she succinctly labels it."[6] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian wrote an article about the publication's vote that chose "Video Games" as the best song of 2011. In it, he praises the song and comments on its ubiquitous acclaim: "There's something imperishable and undeniable about its sighing melody, the way it rises and falls with the mood of a lyric that can't seem to decide whether the bloke it's about is the best thing since sliced bread or a unbelievable pain in the arse. You can see why Video Games united the guy who writes Pitchfork's Track of the Day column with whoever picks the Radio 2 playlist, why it doesn't seem to have lost any of its haunting power in the face of ubiquity."[7]

Maura Johnston of The Village Voice, however, panned a performance of Del Rey's and noted that she "can't" with the overproduction of the song and music video.[8] New York magazine contributor Amanda Dobbins commented on the controversy surrounding Del Rey's rise to fame in a pointed article that preceded the official release of "Video Games".[9] Dobbins references a blog post by Amy Rebecca Klein, a blogger who slammed Del Rey for her perceived inauthenticity: "Lana Del Ray has conquered America with plastic surgery, video games, a regression to nostalgia, and an appeal to the sex drive of every male music critic on the planet."[10] In response to this controversy, Paste'​s Luke Larson said, "When 'Video Games' first hit the web, people weren’t freaking out about Lana Del Rey or fake lips or Lizzy Grant. People were freaking out because they had stumbled upon a fresh voice and a beautifully written song and ultimately, does the rest really matter?"[11] Krystina Nellis of Drowned in Sound said the single reminded her of something from a David Lynch movie, particluarly "one where it turns out they're all lesbians".[12]

Readers of NME voted "Video Games" the tenth-best song of 2011,[13] while the publication itself named it the best single of the year.[14] The Village Voice'​s Pazz and Jop annual critics poll voted "Video Games" number seven of the best singles of 2011, tied with Britney Spears' "Till the World Ends".[15] In 2018, NPR ranked the song number 13 of the 200 Greatest Songs by 21st Century Women+.[16] The song reached top 40 positions in "Best Songs of the 2010s" lists from Consequence of Sound, NME, Pitchfork, and Uproxx, while topping The Guardian'​s list. "Video Games" also won Song of the Decade at the 2019 Q Awards.

Use in media[]

The song was used in an episode of Ringer, "If You Ever Want a French Lesson...", which first aired on September 27, 2011. This usage is often highlighted as a proponent to the launch of Del Rey's career. It would be used again on October 24 in an episode of Gossip Girl, which was titled "I Am Number Nine".[17] A remixed version of the song is featured in the 666 Park Avenue episode "The Dead Don't Stay Dead", which first aired on October 14, 2012.

The song was covered by Neil Patrick Harris, Snoop Dogg, Samuel L. Jackson, and Zachary Levi in a commercial for the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards.[18]

On June 26, 2022, an instrumental cover version of the song was featured in the premiere of the fourth season of HBO's Westworld.[19] On March 21, 2024, the song was prominently featured in episode 6 of the Netflix show 3 Body Problem, titled "The Stars Our Destination",[20] leading to the song rising to number 1 on Billboard’s Top TV Songs chart.[21]

Live performances[]

Del Rey first performed the song live at The Premises in London, England, on July 20, 2011. It has since been included on the set list for every one of her subsequent concert and festival tours. "Video Games" has been performed live the most times out of any other song in Del Rey's discography, though followed closely behind fellow Born to Die singles "Born to Die", "Blue Jeans", and "Summertime Sadness".

The song was a part of a session done by Del Rey's live touring band in preparation for her Paradise Tour performances. The full rehearsal session, which featured Del Rey's pre-recorded vocals and were created with the intent of aiding the tour's videographer, leaked on October 15, 2020.

Background[]

After recording videos for the tracks from Lana Del Ray in the same style, Del Rey continued with "Video Games", interlacing clips of her with old films, cartoons, paparazzi footage, and nature clips to create the video. The first version of the music video was posted as early as May 5, 2011, then was re-edited; this second version being posted as early as June 10.[22] Del Rey would re-edit the video once more to remove any copyrighted footage after she was signed to Stranger Records. The third and final version of the music video was uploaded to Del Rey's YouTube channel on August 19.

Description[]

The video shows Del Rey with her hair in a similar style to that of Jackie Kennedy, wearing a white top and a yellow & black shirt, and shows her with various colorizations added to her shots. The clips in the video show San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, amongst others, as well as specific shots of the Chateau Marmont and various billboards around L.A. A prominent scene featured throughout the video is that of an intoxicated Paz De La Huerta, an actress, stumbling. Many scenes of a man and woman on a moped, dancing, kissing, and jumping in a pool are a main focus of the video. The original video also included many shots of cartoons and orchestras, but these were removed in the final edition.

Lyrics[]

Album version[]

Swingin' in the backyard, pull up in your fast car
Whistlin' my name
Open up a beer and you say, "get over here
And play a video game"
I'm in his favorite sundress, watchin' me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say, "you da best-est", lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
"Go play your video game"

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do, I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on Earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey (Is that true?)
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And baby, now you do, hmm

Singin' in the old bars, swingin' with the old stars
Livin' for the fame
Kissin' in the blue dark, playin' pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms, drunk and I am seein' stars
This is all I think of
Watchin' all our friends fall in and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playin' video games

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do, I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on Earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And baby, now you do
(N-now you do, now you do, now you do)
(N-now you do, now you do, now you do)

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do, I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on Earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And baby, now you do
(N-now you do, now you do, now you do)
Hmm, now you do
(N-now you do, now you do, now you do)
