'Composed by' means music + words, not production, unless the producer became so involved in changes to the music and arrangements in the studio that she or he eventually had to consider her- or himself part of the writing team too, in fairness.
 
Traditionally, 'composed by' means only the creator(s) of the music and lyrics.
 
I hope/expect the NFR BAR is composed by LDR and Nowels, but produced by Jack. We don't need another copy or very close approximation of a song we already have.   

For the slightly different BAR lyrics, it sounds like she’s simply included herself in the song now; “you” has become “we.” I assume the song is about Barrie and now she’s just being more honest about their relationship and career goals.

Yes she burnt it and that's what started the fire in the background on the album cover.
 
And then she sailed the fuck away from that shit. 
 
The cover makes perfect sense to me now.

Me too. The album version might be better, but it sounds too mawkish and fake-sincere to me.

NOT. The only songs featured are those we already know.
 
The opening footage—about the birth of the seas—is from the late 50s Bruce Brown surf film, ‘Slippery When Wet,’ made before he went on to make other ‘small’ surf films and then the famous ‘Endless Summer’ of 1964, which didn’t really become world famous until the early 1970s.

On the unreliable Wikipedia, Rick Nowels is co-listed as writer but no producer of BAR is given. I really hope Jack reworked the arrangement so it’s a little more subtle in the tempo changes, the way MAC is.

Full agree. As if the LFL rollout wasn’t unprofessional enough, the NFR has been inexcusable from a professional POV. There’s no arguing it, no excusing it. It’s as if her music career has also become ‘self-published, like her poetry book.
 
And now there appear to be all kinds of SNAFUS with the actual album release in various jurisdictions.

The ‘NFR’ blurb looks much better on the cover art than the full name did yesterday, and balances the ‘LDR’ in the lower corner.

I don't know if its the label's fault or her managers fault or her own fault but oh my god why are they so dumb? First they didn't send Doin' Time to the pop radios, which is the dumbest thing I've ever seen regarding a song promotion since DT is doing AMAZING on the Alternative and AAA radios so she really could've smashed and gotten herself a hit (probably her biggest since SS) but no they just decided to ignore pop radios. Then they waited six whole months just to release one week after Taylor Swift, which automatically will prevent her from debuting at #1. Honestly a bunch of clowns.

Anyone who purchased from Lana's store and has Photoshop, go check your downloads from your digital album. Mine had the PSD of the album cover and not the JPG, the only thing removable was the explicit tag, but the quality is still much better than what iTunes has. Plus it has both versions of the cover.

The chartreuse album color was probably chosen because it’s very close in shade to the jacket she’s wearing on the album cover, which may be a lemon yellow but photographed chartreuse.

This honestly just looks like a handmade necklace Instagram shop runned by some group of yoga moms. Her baddies aren't that good at management.
