Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey song)

Last updated

With the lyrics "Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?", Del Rey adds a hint of desperation which parallels the idiosyncrasies faced by the characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby . [10] Del Rey's dreamy vocals are draped over sedated strings and canned percussion. [10] The soft and dreary vocals, falling in line with Del Rey's retro affectation, fits the atmosphere of the 1920s when the novel is set. [11] The lyrics rotate around the themes of pleasing a lover, nostalgia, and the gloom of aging. [12]

Music video

The music video for "Young and Beautiful" was set to be released on April 22, 2013, [13] but was officially released on May 10, 2013. [14] Directed by Chris Sweeney, the video's production was helmed by Adam Smith and Jacob Swan-Hyam, with Sophie Muller shooting the footage. [15] Flanked by a full-string orchestra, Del Rey sings Dan Heath's Orchestral version of her song in 1920s art deco fashion. [14] She is shown singing the song in a dark room with glittery diamond-tears on her cheek which look like tattoos. [16] [17] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine described the video as "somber" and the singer's look as "especially demure". Lipshutz concluded that "the clip ends without ever reaching any kind of conclusion -- much like the rhetorical question 'Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?' at the heart of the song." [16] Spin's Marc Hogan described it as "elegantly conceived, but succeed[s] only as much as the music does". [17]

An edit of the video set to the Cedric Gervais remix was published on September 27, 2013. [18]

Critical reception

Critical reception of "Young and Beautiful" has been fairly positive. Hip hop magazine Rap-Up called the single "haunting", [7] while MTV called it "somber-sounding". [8] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard called the ballad, "typically lush", paralleling the single with Del Rey's previous hits, "Video Games" and "Born to Die". [10] Canadian journal National Post wrote "Young and Beautiful" picks up where "Video Games" left off, stating the song was relevant to the book because of "its obsession with decay and the fleeting nature of the good life certainly resonate." [19] The journal continued to call it an "artifact" of Del Rey's consistently dark tone, adding that by the second play-through "its bald directness becomes its appeal." [19] MTV commented that the track "falls very much in-line with what Lana Del Rey's fans have come to expect" from Del Rey. [11] Jeff Benjamin of Fuse said the track featured "a big, sweeping ballad with piano, violins and Lana's warbly delivery." He added that "if the single takes off, perhaps the songbird can finally scrub her image clean of that 'Girl that totally f-cked[ sic ] up her Saturday Night Live debut' tag." [20] Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen recognized "Young and Beautiful" as the album's centerpiece, calling it "inert" and "a drag" despite its symmetry with the album's entire theme. [21] Finding the track restrained in comparison to her earlier work, August Brown, writing for The Los Angeles Times, called the single "clean" and "classy". [22] "Young and Beautiful" was given a positive review by Stereogum's Tom Breihan, although he disapproved of the vapidity of the line: "make me wanna party". [23] Nathan Ellis, writing for Far Out Magazine, praised the track for the "silky vocals" and "dulcet [24] tones." [25]

The song was nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. "Young and Beautiful" was also nominated for Best Original Song at the World Soundtrack Awards 2013. [26] It won the Best Original Song at the 18th Satellite Awards. [27]

Commercial performance

Debuting at number 89 on the United States' Billboard Hot 100, "Young and Beautiful" became Del Rey's second highest mark up to that point. [28] With 48,000 units in first-week sales, the song also entered the Hot Digital Songs chart at 36. The song later peaked at number 22, became Del Rey's highest charting song at the time.

The single was sampled by Flo Rida's artist iRome on his Radio hit "Homicide" where Del Rey's vocals are heard throughout the song. [29] "Young And Beautiful" became one of her best-selling singles in the United States, nearly on par with "Video Games", which is certified for 500,000 download and streaming units. [30] [31]
