Data Insight

Lust for Life is Lana Del Rey's most feature-heavy album, and the credits open up to match: she still wrote all the lyrics and melodies, but the writing rooms widen with guests like the Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, and Stevie Nicks adding their names. The producer column also expands beyond her usual circle to include Benny Blanco, Max Martin, Boi-1da, and Metro Boomin, while Rick Nowels remains her steadiest co-writer.

Lust for Life is the fourth major-label studio album by Lana Del Rey, released in July 2017 and her most collaborative and outward-looking record. Where her earlier albums were largely solitary, this one welcomes a star-studded guest list, with the Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, Stevie Nicks, and Sean Ono Lennon all appearing. Lana Del Rey wrote all of the lyrics and melodies, co-writing the music mostly with Rick Nowels, and the mood turns more hopeful and politically engaged than her trademark melancholy. It became her second US number-one album and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. The record balances trap-influenced production with the cinematic balladry that defines her work.
