"Fingertips" finds Lana sharing her innermost thoughts in a stream-of-consciousness song that reels right between her music and poetry.
Following previous tracks "The Grants", "A&W" and "Kintsugi" and their self-introspection and family-centered themes, the song examines the emotional baggage carried from her past experiences and intricate relationships, while at the same time, speculates about her future.
Based on voice notes recorded on her phone, Del Rey trusted Drew Erickson to produce the song, whom added minimal yet detailed instrumentation to her words. In a note shared by the singer following the announcement of her ninth studio album and the release of its title track, she thanked the producer for helping her transform her "messy" voice notes into a "masterfully planned song".
"Fingertips" was the first song from Did You Know That There's an Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd to be mentioned by Lana Del Rey. Without sharing any titles and revealing the opening lines to the song, in her cover story for W Magazine's May 2022 issue, she discussed her then-upcoming record, describing it as "conversational", "wordy", "unfiltered", and following an "automatic singing" formula that her previous album hadn’t seen before.
The track is about Lana remembering the deaths of family members and how she got through them, she let the light shine and take her out of this dark and sad place.
