"Video Games" is the debut single by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey for her 2nd album & major label debut, Born to Die (2012). The song was produced by Robopop (Daniel Omelio & Brandon Lowry), the lyrics were written by Del Rey & Justin Parker. It was first released to the Internet on June 29, 2011 & was later released on her extended play, Lana Del Rey. The song was re-released as the lead single from her album, Born to Die, on Oct 7, 2011, through Interscope Records.
"Video Games" is a baroque pop, dream pop & downtempo ballad where the protagonist who, despite being ignored by her significant other, resolves to love him regardless.
It has received widespread critical acclaim, with critics praising the song's cinematic production. The song has been considered Del Rey's "breakthrough hit" & was a commercial success, peaking at no 1 in Germany, Iceland & Luxembourg; reaching a top ten position in Belgium, France, Netherlands & the UK & peaking at 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was certified Gold.
It won an Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song & was nominated for several other awards. It was named "Song of the Decade" at the Q Awards 2019 & was ranked 9th on Pitchfork's 100 Best Songs of the 2010s.
In an interview for The Quietus, Del Rey stated that the inspiration for the song came from her ex-boyfriend, commenting, "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 & he'd play his video games - but also it was maybe too regular." The singer also stated that she used lower vocals for "Video Games" because she felt that the public did not see her as a serious artist. Of the musical composition, MTV lauded the cinematic atmosphere of the song, adoring its feathery violins, echoing electronic thumps & melancholic crescendos - wound into a dramatic exhibition.
The song received critical acclaim from music critics. Following its release, Ian Cohen dubbed the song "Best New Music" on Pitchfork. Lindsey Johnstone of The Scotsman described the song as an "ode to being ignored & the exquisite pain of clutching at an illusion of happiness". Alexis Petridis of The Guardian considered "Video Games" the best song of 2011 & added, "it's tempting to say with a song that good it doesn't matter who sings it, but that's not strictly true. As pop divas who collaborate with Eg White go, Lana Del Rey sounds hugely understated."
In a poll performed by NME, readers ranked it as the 10th best song of the year. Maura Johnston of The Village Voice, however, called the song & its accompanying music video overproduced.
The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop annual critics' poll ranked "Video Games" at no 7 of the best music of 2011, tied with Britney Spears's "Till the World Ends". British magazine NME named "Video Games" the best single of 2011.
In 2019, NME, Pitchfork, Uproxx, Stereogum & Consequence of Sound ranked the song as the 3rd, 9th, 15th, 26th & 36th best song of the 2010s.
From over 35 outlets, global critic aggregator Acclaimed Music ranked "Video Games" as the third greatest song of the 2010s.
