Lana Del Rey let "The greatest" out in August 2019, a track from her sixth studio album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, issued by Interscope and Polydor as a joint promotional single with "Fuck It I Love You" and sharing a two-song "double feature" video with it. She wrote and produced it with Jack Antonoff, who plays acoustic and electric guitar, piano, keyboards and drums on it, with Victoria Parker on violin, Phillip Peterson on cello and Evan Smith on flute and saxophone. Antonoff and Laura Sisk recorded and mixed it.
It's a burned-out love letter to better days: Del Rey aching for the way things used to be, between the two of them and in the wider world, and bristling at what everything has turned into. Universal sent it to Italian radio that September as the album's fifth single.
