    Found this interview, in which SYML describes how the song came about: 

     

    Quote

    ON TOP OF THE NEW ALBUM, another major moment for Fennell this year came when the iconoclastic singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey released her critically vaunted, garrulously titled ninth album, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.” Fennell appears on the 10th track, “Paris, Texas,” which is, essentially, Del Rey singing hauntedly on top of an instrumental piece evoking a music-box waltz, “I Wanted to Leave,” Fennell had shared on an instrumental EP nodding to his classical-piano roots.

     

    A longtime fan of the singer — he’d regularly performed a cover of her 2012 hit “Summertime Sadness” in the early SYML days, for instance — Fennell speculates that Del Rey had become hip to the track after it had received some attention on TikTok. After she tried reaching out through Barcelona’s old email account, which Fennell said no one checks anymore, she texted him to see whether he could FaceTime, which they did for an hour.

     

    “She was essentially asking my blessing to make (the song) her own,” Fennell said. “And it was cool — she really wanted to take the time and be insistent that she knows that this is a song: it’s not just some background music.” 

     

    For both collaborators, the song is a homesick one, Fennell said. What was crazy, he added, was that he’d written it while he was in Paris and that when Del Rey decided to name the song after the 1984 Wim Wenders movie “Paris, Texas,” she had no idea about the connection. Once the pair finally met in person at a show, they hit it off.

     

    “The thing that struck me when we first met was just that how much — for lack of a better term — she doesn’t give a f---,” he said. “She’s like, ‘I turn in my records when I’m done, and I’m not interested in anybody else’s opinion about it other than the people I choose to collaborate with.’ She says it in a way that’s not like a Madonna. It’s very much, like, ‘I’m the boss of myself, and I’m gonna do what I want; if it’s commercially successful is inconsequential.’ It’s the vibe I get from her, which is admirable.”

    Nothing ground-breaking, but I came to a solid conclusion that "Radio" is 100% about Barrie and here's how I summed it up:

     

    1. In the Fader interview, it is stated that Lana and Barrie began dating right after the release of "Video Games"

    2.  In this interview, she said this about the song:

    3. And the final piece - a barely noticed interview where she says she wrote the song right after "Video Games" started getting airplay.

    Let me solidify this theory with receipts :charli:

    I’m actually beyond touched and happy for Chorli, I even shed a tear for the “Fucking for life” post. I witnessed this girl’s growth from a teenage celebrity to someone’s wife. Congrats to her and that random man! :krylie:
