A video <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNUcpEyxaut\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNUcpEyxaut\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNUcpEyxaut\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">clip<\/a> posted on her Instagram page yesterday shows Del Rey driving as the song plays in the background, starting with the lyric in question: \u201cEthel Cain hated my Instagram post\/Think it\u2019s cute reenacting my Chicago pose.\u201d Watch it on <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNUcpEyxaut\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNUcpEyxaut\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNUcpEyxaut\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">her Instagram page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While bits and pieces of the song have leaked over the years, this is the most substantial chunk yet of what appears to be a formal recording. Fans have a surmised that the lyrics relate to Cain\u2019s apparent involvement with <a href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/artists\/27383-salem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salem<\/a>\u2019s Jack Donoghue, Del Rey\u2019s ex. The mention of an Instagram post in the lyrics seemingly refers to a pair of posts, by the respective artists, in 2022: Del Rey with Donoghue outside a prison; Cain with him by a dam. Another portion of the song, in which she sings the line \u201cThe most famous girl at the Waffle House,\u201d is a quote of the headline of an Ethel Cain profile in <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/05\/11\/arts\/music\/ethel-cain-preachers-daughter.html\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/05\/11\/arts\/music\/ethel-cain-preachers-daughter.html&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/05\/11\/arts\/music\/ethel-cain-preachers-daughter.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The New York Times<\/a>. (Del Rey subsequently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonappetit.com\/story\/lana-del-rey-waffle-house-mystery-solved\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">took a pretend shift<\/a> at a Waffle House in Alabama.)
