Recorded in Nashville and produced by Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys, the track was written by the singer and master in pop theatricality Rick Nowels (he's penned previous tracks for Lana, as well as Stevie Nicks, Dido, Lykke Li and Belinda Carlisle).
Side-stepping slowly from the Twin Peaks melodrama of Born to Die, the track oozes with the sultry sounds and textures of 80s drive time, based around a solitary guitar and anxiously breathy vocals.
Whether or not this track is indicative of her full album is yet to be known, but she has described Ultraviolence as an record that is "so wrong and exquisite.
It is absolutely gorgeous – darker than the first.”
WEST COAST (Rick Nowels,Lana Del Rey)
Down on the West Coast, they got a saying
If you're not drinking, then you're not playing
But you've got the music, you've got the music in you, don't you?
Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling like it all could happen
That's why I'm leaving you for the moment, you for the moment
Boy blue, yeah you
It's getting harder to show it
I'm feeling hot to the touch
You say you miss me
And I always say I miss you so much
But something keeps me really quiet
I’m alive, I’m a lush
Your love, your love, your love
I can see my baby swinging
His parliament is on fire when his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swinging
He's crazy and Cubano como yo my love
On the balcony and I'm singing
Move baby, move baby, I’m in love
I’m in love
I’m in love
Down on the west coast, they got their icons
Their silver starlets, their queens of Saigon
And you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?
Down on the west coast, they love their movies
Their golden cars and rock-n-roll groupies
And you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?
You push it hard I pull away
I’m feeling hotter than fire
I guess that no one ever really made me feel that I’m a child
Didn’t say you gotta know, boy it's you I desire
Your love, your love, your love
I can see my baby swinging
His parliament is on fire when his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Move baby, move baby, I’m in love
I can see my sweet boy swinging
He's crazy and Cubano como yo my love
On the balcony and I'm singing
Move baby, move baby, I’m in love
I can see my baby swinging
His parliament is on fire when his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
He's crazy and Cubano como yo my love
On the balcony and I'm singing
Move baby, move baby, I’m in love
I’m in love
I’m in love
