@umgcatalog: @Lana Del Rey’s pretty face and electric soul shook up our world in 2013 for the release of “Young & Beautiful.” 🦋 Slotted as the centerpiece track for the film adaptation The Great Gatsby (also released in 2013,) the chorus of the song was originally written for “Paradise,” the extension to her album “Born To Die,” before she played it for director, co-writer, and co-producer of the film Baz Luhrmann. “He asked me if I could write a memory cue for Daisy. So I sang him a chorus of ‘Young and Beautiful’ that I had already—just a chorus—and he thought that’d be good for her.” Del Rey explained in an interview with @Audacy. “I wrote the whole thing after I watched her garden scenes. The movie is highly glamorous and exciting; Rick Nowels and I were thrilled to write the song for the film.” #LanaDelRey #YoungAndBeautiful #TheGreatGatsby #2013
