Writing and production [ ]
In an interview with Courtney Love for Dazed magazine, Del Rey opened up virtually writing "Lust for Life" and stated that information technology was the first song she wrote for the album. She loved the song but felt "information technology wasn't right", so while in process of finishing the song, Del Rey flew to Sweden to run across with Max Martin, who brash her to plough what had previously been a verse into the song's chorus. According to Rick Nowels: "It was one of the first songs written for the album, and we completed the first version, and it was a cute slice of fine art. It's one of my favourite songs. During the procedure of making the tape Lana had a meeting with Max Martin and he said: 'That verse could exist a chorus!' — ie. the 'Take off your wearing apparel' part, which originally was a verse. There was a lot of free energy in the room effectually making a hit single, and so nosotros rewrote it and made that the chorus of the song. In the end at that place were two versions of the vocal, with the new version ending upwards on the anthology" [twoscore].
Producer and engineer Dean Reid added "The original song was a long ballad with pads and vocals, and then Max's coiffure rearranged it into more of a popular structure with beats, and then Lana wanted to do more of a '50s doo-wop style spoken-discussion thing in the verses" [40]. Engineer Kieron Menzies gave more than insight nigh the song's composition past saying that "The first version was more ominous, but the spoken words and Motown/Phil Spector beat in the verses gave it more of a Shangri-Las vibe and a walking-in-the-sand feeling. Information technology also added to the future-retro thing that Lana is then fond of. Throughout the making of the album she kept talking about Blade Runner being an inspiration." [twoscore]
When Del Rey had returned to her main producer Rick Nowels, she felt similar she really wanted The Weeknd sing the chorus, whom she is very close with and has worked with before. He "rewrote a little bit of it," only she still felt like it was missing something, so she "went back for a quaternary time and layered information technology upwards with harmonies", and felt that she was finally happy with the song.[4] Nowels called the original version of the song "a beautiful art vocal, it's quite touching".[5]
