Chemtrails over the Country Club

"Chemtrails over the Country Club" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on January 11, 2021, by Interscope Records and Polydor Records as the title track and second single from her seventh studio album of the same name. The song was written and produced by Del Rey and frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff. In a September 2020 interview with Interview magazine, Del Rey stated she chose "Chemtrails over the Country Club" as the title track of the album because the lyrics pertain to her "stunning girlfriends" and "beautiful siblings" ("who so much of the album is about"), also mentioning "wanting so much to be normal and realizing that when you have an overactive, eccentric mind, a record like Chemtrails is just what you're going to get." Background On August 31, 2019, the release day of her sixth studio album Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Del Rey announced she had already begun work on another album. On May 25, 2020, she announced in an Instagram post that the album would be titled Chemtrails over the Country Club. The album was initially scheduled to be released on September 5, 2020, but she later revealed that the release had been postponed to March 19, 2021, largely due to vinyl production delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. On September 1, 2020, Del Rey posted a video on Instagram of her on set filming a music video. In the video, she announced that the music video would be for the title track and second single from the album, "Chemtrails over the Country Club", and stated another song she had been working on, "Let Me Love You Like a Woman", would be released as the lead single from the album, before "Chemtrails over the Country Club" would be released. ("Let Me Love You Like a Woman" was released on October 16, 2020.) On December 22, Del Rey posted a video on social media featuring scenes from the music video and announced that "Chemtrails over the Country Club" and its accompanying music video would be released on January 11, 2021, the same day the album would become available for pre-order.
