In addition to the artwork, the “Video Games” singer announced a release date — _Ultraviolence_ drops June 17 — and confirmed its tracklist, which features the very Lana-sounding titles “Sad Girl,” “Pretty When You Cry” and “F—d My Way Up to the Top,” which is sure to be a gem. Take a listen to the album’s hazy first single, “West Coast,” [here](http://time.com/61530/lana-del-rey-west-coast/ "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/99265/lana-del-rey-ultraviolence-art-release-date/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/99265/lana-del-rey-ultraviolence-art-release-date/"},"headline":"Lana Del Rey Announces Ultraviolence Release Date, Reveals Album Cover","datePublished":"2014-05-14T16:18:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:49:57.131Z","description":"Ultraviolence comes out June 17 and features the lead single \"West Coast\"","url":"https://time.com/99265/lana-del-rey-ultraviolence-art-release-date/","keywords":["Music","Pop","Lana Del Rey"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/99265/lana-del-rey-ultraviolence-art-release-date/","name":"Lana Del Rey Announces Ultraviolence Release Date, Reveals Album Cover"}}]}] ```
