There are two types of Lana Del Rey fans: those who only listen to the studio albums, and those who swim in the deep end of the internet—SoundCloud rabbit holes, Reddit mega-threads, and YouTube videos titled “Jealous Girl (Demo 2013).”

The million-dollar question: Why is this song sitting in a digital shoebox under her bed?

This track proves that Lana Del Rey didn't learn how to be interesting—she always was. She just used to be a lot angrier about it.

If you are a fan of Lana Del Rey, you know the drill. You fall in love with the polished albums ( Born to Die , Norman Fucking Rockwell ), but you build a shrine to the bootlegs. Among the hundreds of unreleased tracks floating through YouTube and Reddit forums, there is one specific gem that refuses to stay buried:

For nearly a decade, "Jealous Girl" remained a hidden gem known only to hardcore fans scavenging through SoundCloud and YouTube. However, the track underwent a massive cultural revival when it went viral on TikTok, spawning hundreds of thousands of videos.

As with most of her unreleased catalogue, the legality is grey. You won't find "Jealous Girl" on Spotify or Apple Music. It lives on dusty hard drives, old YouTube uploads with anime lyric videos, and the hard drives of collectors who trade tracks like baseball cards.

As of 2026, the song continues to find new listeners. The Miss Daytona Collection —the comprehensive archive of Del Rey's unreleased work—was updated and rebranded in January 2026, ensuring that tracks like "Jealous Girl" remain accessible to fans old and new. On Last.fm, the song has amassed over 24,000 listeners, a remarkable figure for a track with no official commercial release. And with nearly 200 leaked songs circulating online in total, Del Rey's unofficial catalog continues to grow, with "Jealous Girl" standing as one of its brightest jewels.
