"Brooklyn Baby" is a song by American singer Lana Del Rey from her third studio album, Ultraviolence (2014).

Background
In October 2013, Del Rey traveled to New York for a studio meeting with Lou Reed, but he died before they met. "I took the red eye, touched down at 7am... and two minutes later he died", Del Rey said. She wrote "Brooklyn Baby" with Reed in mind, referencing him in the line, "Yeah my boyfriend's in a band / He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed." Del Rey co-wrote the song with her then-boyfriend Barrie-James O'Neill when they were living together in Los Angeles.

According to Del Rey, her demo of "Brooklyn Baby" had a singer-songwriter-like sound and Dan Auerbach's production changed the song considerably, giving it "an exotic, Brooklyn feel". The closing line, "Yeah, my boyfriend's pretty cool, but he's not as cool as me", was an adlibbed take Del Rey sang to Auerbach as a joke. They recorded the track at Auerbach's Nashville studio, Easy Eye Sound.
