| Song | Why It’s Essential | | :--- | :--- | | | Technically on the AKA Lizzy Grant album (removed from streaming). A heartbreakingly simple guitar ballad about poverty and letting go. | | "Kill Kill" | The title track from her debut 2008 EP. Haunting and hypnotic. | | "For K, Pt. 2" | Written for her ex-boyfriend. Pure, unfiltered longing. | | "Jump" | A cinematic, dramatic track that feels like a proto- Born to Die blueprint. | The Born to Die Outtakes (2010–2011) Orchestral, hip-hop influenced, cinematic. Lana Del Rey All Unreleased Songs
| Song | Why It’s Essential | | :--- | :--- | | | Her most famous unreleased song. A bouncy, 1960s girl-group anthem. Fans have begged for an official release for a decade. | | "TV in Black & White" | A dramatic, vengeant track about fame. | | "Driving in Cars with Boys" | Features a spoken-word bridge that predicted the Tropico short film. | | "Kind Outta Luck" | A glamorous, Nancy Sinatra-style banger about gold-digging. | The Paradise / Tropico Era (2012–2013) More electronic & surreal.
