On “Art Deco”, a dreamy track with slow, echoed beats and soft synths, Lana sings about the reckless insecurity of teens partying by night.
Clothing brand Urban Outfitters published promo artwork for the song on their twitter page.
[Verse 1]
Club queen on the downtown scene
Prowling around at night
You're not mean, you're just born to be seen
Born to be wild
A little party never hurt no one, that's why it's alright
You want in but you just can't win
So you hang in the lights
[Chorus]
You're so Art Deco out on the floor
Shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure
Baby, you're so ghetto, you're looking to score
When they all say hello, you try to ignore them
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?)
'Cause you want more
[Verse 2]
Young thing on the downtown scene
Rolling around at night
Got things that have yet to be seen
Like your rapper's delight
A little party never hurt no one, that's why it's alright
You want in, but you just can't win
So you stay in the lights
[Chorus]
You're so Art Deco out on the floor
Shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure
Baby, you're so ghetto, you're looking to score
When they all say hello, you try to ignore them
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?)
'Cause you want more
[Bridge]
A little party never hurt no one
So you stay out late
A little party never hurt no one
That's what your friends say
You put your life out on the line
You're crazy all the time
Put your life out on the line
You're crazy all the time
[Chorus]
You're so Art Deco out on the floor
Shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure
Baby, you're so ghetto, you're looking to score
When they all say hello, you try to ignore them
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?)
'Cause you want more
[Outro]
A little party never hurt no one
Not you and me
A little party never hurt no one
We were born to be free

When asked if the song was about Azealia Banks on the Interview for NME Magazine December 2015 Issue, she answered:
Definitely not. I have no idea where people got that from. I just don’t know what the correlation is. That song is actually about a group of teenagers who go out every night.
