Haar debuutsingle Video Games afkomstig van het album Born To Die bracht ze uit op YouTube uit en binnen een maand had ze 1 miljoen hits. Haar muziek valt onder de noemer Indie, Alternatief en Sad Core.
Het liedje gaat over een meisje dat troost vindt in de kleine dingen van het leven, zoals haar vriendje dat een videogame speelt. Inmiddels staat de teller bij YouTube op bijna 136 miljoen hits.
Lana heeft de videoclip zelf in elkaar gezet met diverse filmpjes. Het toeval wil dat ze hierbij ook een filmpje heeft gebruikt dat afkomstig is van Nederlandse jongeren, waardoor de videoclip een Nederlands tintje krijgt.

Songtekst
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say get over here
And play a video game
I'm in his favourite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favourite perfume on
Go play a 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 want to 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
Baby now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing 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 want to 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
Baby now you do
(Now you do)
(Now you do)
(N-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 want to 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
Baby now you do
(Now you do)
(Now you do)
(N-Now you do)
Now you do
(N-Now you do)
