Elizabeth Woolridge Grant 是Lana Del Rey的本名，1985 年 6 月 21 日出生於紐約的美國創作歌手。
在她職業生涯的早期，還有其他藝名：May Jailer、Sparkle Jump Rope Queen、和Lizzy Grant 在各大夜店演出。她的歌曲總是帶著悲傷、悲劇浪漫、和憂鬱為主題，尤其是 1950 和 1960 年代的美國流行文化奠定她復古女神形象。
2005 年開始了音樂領域。 這是她以Lizzy Grant為藝名的專輯
當時乏人問津。
之後以Lana Del Rey 為藝名，2011年10月7日發行的單曲 Video Games 成名。第三張專輯《Born to Die》名聲大噪。
她在接受 Complex 雜誌採訪時，也坦承與業內很多人有過性關係，但他們並沒有幫助她獲得唱片合約。
Lana del Rey says, "You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry, but none of them helped me get my record deals.
她的歌像是日記，呢喃瑣碎的小事拼湊的故事
我喜歡這首White dress
MV也畫面也很詩意
試著翻成中文，翻得不好，歡迎指教
白色洋裝
凝視艷陽，漫不經心，
思想樸實時光
自己如Sun Ra ，感覺渺小，但每次都在我掌控之中
當時我只是穿著白色洋裝的女服務生
看我是怎麼辦到的，看我是怎麼做到的
我只是一名上夜班的女服務生
你成為我的男人，我以為都在股掌之間
周旋在男人的音樂商務場合裡
在奧蘭多，我那時才 19 歲
周旋在男人的音樂商務場合裡
我提起是因為那場面如次盛大
我感覺自己被看見
嗯～～～
炙熱夏日
在草坪上聽著爵士樂
聽著那時當紅的White Stripes
整天聽著搖滾樂
我那時只是一個穿著緊身洋裝的女服務生，忍受酷熱
我並不出名，只能聽著Kings of Leon的節奏
看看我是怎麼得到這一切
看看我是怎麼得到這一切，只是在街頭唱歌
周旋在男人的音樂商務場合裡
我感到自由，因為那時的我只有 19 歲
如此盛況
仲夏，仲夏即逝
我們談論生活，坐在外面直到黎明
但我願回到原點
如果我能重來一遍，我會展翅高飛
因為這讓我覺得，覺得自己像神
因為這讓我覺得，覺得自己像神
不知怎麼，這讓我覺得，覺得自己像個神
我那時只是穿著白色洋裝的女服務生
看看我是怎麼辦到的，看看我是怎麼做到的
我只是一名上夜班的女服務生
你成為我的男人，我以為都在股掌之間
周旋在男人的音樂商務場合裡
在奧蘭多，我那時才 19 歲
周旋在男人的音樂商務場合裡
我提起到是因為那場面如次盛大
我感覺被看見了
嗯～～～
當我還是穿著緊身洋裝的女服務生
看看我是怎麼做到的，看看我是怎麼得到的
我還是穿著緊身洋裝的女服務生時
看看誰會這麼做，看看誰能得到這一切
這讓我覺得，覺得自己像個神
有點讓我覺得，覺得好過些
因為這讓我覺得，覺得自己像個神
有點讓我覺得，也許讓我好過些
White Dress
Sun stare, don't care with my head in my hands thinking of a simpler time
Like Sun Ra, feel small, but I had it under control every time
When I was a waitress wearing a white dress
Look how I do this, look how I got this
I was a waitress working the night shift
You were my man, felt like I got this
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
Down in Orlando, I was only 19
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene
And I felt seen
Mmh, mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh, mhm
Summer, sizzling
Listening to jazz out on the lawn
Listening to White Stripes when they were white-hot
Listening to rock, all day long
When I was a waitress wearing a tight dress, handling the heat
I wasn't famous, just listening to Kings of Leon to the beat
Like, look at how I got this
Look how I got this, just singing in the street
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
I felt free 'cause I was only 19
Such a scene
Summer, summer's almost gone
We were talking about life, we were sitting outside 'til dawn
But I would still go back
If I could do it all again, I'd fly
Because it made me feel, made me feel like a god
'Cause it made me feel, made me feel like a god
Somehow it made me feel, made me feel like a god
When I was a waitress wearing a white dress
Look how I do this, look how I got this
I was a waitress working the night shift
You were my man, felt like I got this
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
Down in Orlando, I was only 19
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene
And I felt seen
Mmh, mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh, mhm
When I was a waitress wearing a tight dress
Like, look how I do it, look how I got this
I was a waitress wearing a tight dress
Like, look who would do this, look who would got this
It made me feel, made me feel like a god
It kinda makes me feel, like maybe I was better off
'Cause it made me feel, made me feel like a god
Kinda makes me feel like maybe I was better off
