Vogue UK published an interview with Lana in late 2011 where it was revealed that she refers to her musical artistry as “Hollywood sadcore”.She signed her first recording contract with 5 Points Records in 2007 and her first digital album, Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant, was released in January 2010.

Later, the poem takes a twist and has Lana lean towards the idea of family and the beauty and happiness that comes from that, be the answer to her questions.
