Tracks 6, 12 and 14 were co-written by Barrie-James O’Neill, whom Lana used to be engaged to. She wrote the last track with her sister, Chuck, and father, Robert.

Lana Del Rey announced on Instagram that she will release another single, titled, ‘Arcadia,’ from her upcoming album ‘Blue Banisters’ on September 8. She uploaded a snippet and said to listen if you liked ‘Video Games.’
Lana also added some commentary about reflecting on her life due to ongoing criticism. She said, “I guess you could say this album is about what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now,” which alludes the album being a journey. “If you’re interested go back and listen to the first three songs I put out earlier,” she added, referring to ‘Blue Banisters,’ ‘Text Book,’ and ‘Wildflower Wildfire.’ She said these chronicle the beginning, and ‘Arcadia’ will hit somewhere in the middle, and “by the time the record drops you will hear where we’re at today.”
Lana also thanked her friends over the last 18 years, who have “been an example of attraction not promotion.” She added, “I’ve never felt the need to promote myself or tell my story, but if you’re interested this album does tell it—and does pretty much nothing more.”
Lana Del Rey features on ‘Secret Life’ by Bleachers, the name singer and record producer Jack Antonoff performs music under. The song is from his new album, ‘Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night,’ which was released on July 30. Lana also contributed to writing the song ‘Don’t Go Dark.’
