"Young and Beautiful" is Lana Del Rey's contribution to the soundtrack of The Great Gatsby, a 2013 single on Interscope that she wrote and produced with Rick Nowels, and critics heard it as haunting and somber. The song is a young lover's anxious question about whether love can really last.
The production is a slow-motion gilded ballroom: Nowels on piano and synthesizer, Devrim Karaoğlu on drum machine, and Patrick Warren piling on strings, piano, electric guitar, tubular bells, dulcitone and a musette de cour, mixed by Robert Orton. It climbed to 22 on the Hot 100 and 3 on the Hot Rock Songs chart, went nine-times Platinum in Australia, and earned Del Rey and Nowels a Grammy nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media and a win for Best Original Song at the 18th Satellite Awards.
