Ah right, sorry! I think with her recent works and whatnot, she's trying to cater to the image and style that she's established with BTD and Video Games in particular. Lana needs to keep the hype high until her next album comes out, and so she's doing that by focusing - in terms of releases - on what is assured to be successful. I'm in love with her more upbeat stuff, too, and I'm sure we'll get a hefty amount of that on the new album - but until then, I don't think we'll see much. This is sort of why I'd guess OTTR, and Lolita etc. (the former especially) haven't been released as singles. 

Ata requested cover art, and I happily obliged.
 

I think it's difficult to say that she's going downhill on the basis of the only track released since Paradise, and a seemingly phoned-in video. If you disliked Paradise, too, then fair enough, but I think that judgement should be reserved until we have more substantial new material to make an informed statement. Both Young & Beautiful and this video have quite clearly not been her primary focus; considering that this track is lyrically adapted for the movie rather than a bespoke creation, and that the video was likely done inbetween recording sessions, photoshoots, possibly touring (if having to "re-record" is accurate) then she's obviously going to stick to what she knows, play it safe, and not devote all of her time and attention to it. 
 
I do agree that Young & Beautiful and this video are far from her best work, but I wouldn't use it against her just yet.

I think you might have misunderstood.. I don't think she, or her music, is going downhill. It is still so above anything and everything other artists on the radio are doing right now. I'm saying that my personal opinion of her might be falling because of the style of her most recent work. It's not just Young & Beautiful, it's also the songs she's been covering. Chelsea Hotel No. 2 was nice, but I am just a huge fan of her more upbeat and hip-hop influenced music. I think she's moving away from that, thus why my opinion of her songs are falling. Like I said, I still she is above any other artist right now.
 
 
 
I get what you're saying but I'm not sure how you can say it's "one long song", haha  Video Games and Off to the Races are two completely different styles. I think BTD is actually a very variety-filled album!
