Del Rey mentions Springsteen in ' American'.A violent relationship is the central theme in ' Ultraviolence', among other songs.Mike Wass, in another review, commented ' a fairly bleak introduction but “Flipside” is positively upbeat in comparison to the LP’s morose title track and melancholy cuts like “ Brooklyn Baby”.' He concluded his review by saying 'there’s a fiery quality to the Target exclusive that makes it stand out in a good way.' Live perfomances ĭel Rey performed 'Flipside' live for the first ever time on May 27, 2023, at the MITA Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as a part of the Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd Promotional Tour. The tracks are so good, it just ain't fair that only a few get to actually buy them legally and the rest have to resort to find them on the Internet however they can.' He went on to imply that the track was more deserving of international distribution than the bonus track ' Guns and Roses'. In a review, Kevin Apaza of DirectLyrics criticized the decision to not include the track on all international versions of the album saying 'I always get the feeling Lana should have included all of these on the regular, worldwide editions of her albums. Upon release, the track garnered positive reviews. The lyrics seem to show Del Rey trying to save a relationship that's on the brink of being over, telling her lover that he 'caught once' and could 'catch again'. A riff of a guitar playing C♯, G♯ and A plays throughout the song. The song features no drums and Del Rey's vocals are backed only by distorted electric guitars and bass. It is in 4/4, the key of F♯ minor, and is performed at approximately 126 beats per minute. 'Flipside' is a minimalistic rock song running at 5 minutes and 10 seconds. Ī snippet of an alternate vocal take surfaced on November 10, 2021. Originally, it was recorded as a rough demo at NightBird Recording Studios in Los Angeles.

The song is one of three from the album to be written by Del Rey and her guitarist Blake Stranathan, and was presumably recorded and produced in the same session as ' Cruel World' and ' Pretty When You Cry'.Īccording to a reliable insider, the song wasn't in heavy consideration for Ultraviolence until it was later chosen and released as a bonus track. To say 'catch someone on the flipside' means to see them later. The term 'flipside' has various meanings, most commonly it's the B-side on a single which a listener would have to 'flip' the record over to listen to. It was later confirmed that 'Flipside' would also appear on special Target editions of Ultraviolence. The title was first revealed on Fnac's online store, which listed 'Flipside' as a bonus track.
