For Lana’s album, she sang the song Margaret, which the beauty recently revealed is about Jack’s fiancée and actress, Margaret Qualley.
In a recent cover with Magazine InterviewThe Californian singer shared that the song was the last one she wrote for the album, which was finished in its entirety in September 2022.
“I was like, ‘You know what? I want to write a song for him.’ He lands right in the middle of the album.
She continued: ‘It’s fun, this album felt totally effortless. When I did Norman F*****g Rockwell! it was about world building, whereas this was a direct vibration.’
The rest of the album consists of 16 tracks, three of which were previously released as singles.
Lana released her album’s title track as her first single on December 7, 2022, which has already amassed over 38 million streams on Spotify only.
