The song was written by the singer and Justin Parker, while produced by Rick Rubin, the song served as the reissue’s first single on September 25, 2012 through Interscope Records, Polydor Records, and Universal Music. “Ride” is a pop ballad that thematically involves parental problems, alcohol consumption, and loneliness. The cover for the song depicts Del Rey on a tire swing, wearing cowboy boots and a denim jacket.
“Ride” received positive reviews from music critics, who compared Del Rey’s vocals with that of Adele and Brandon Flowers of The Killers. While only a modest hit in the United States, Switzerland, Ireland, and France, the song reached the top 10 in Russia and Belgium. The accompanying music video for “Ride” was directed by Anthony Mandler, and was released on October 12, 2012. Del Rey’s role in the video was compared to Lolita and A Streetcar Named Desire. The monologue treatment at the prologue and epilogue of the video met polarized opinion; some considered it “meaningless” and a “jibe to her critics”, while others called it “moving” and “really something”.

Amazing how the film maker lifted the filming of this video directly from the Chet Baker documentary Let's Get Lost - black & white hanging at the beach and cruising in the backs of convertables
