The Other Woman by Lana Del Rey Song Info
"The Other Woman" is a song by American singer Nina Simone, covered by Lana Del Rey. The song is about a woman in a relationship with a man who also has another relationship - with another woman who, in contrast to the song's narrator, always looks perfect, encapsulated in her beauty and caring for her own needs. The "other woman" is a representation of unattainable perfection, and the narrator is unable to compete with her or understand why her partner chose the "other woman" in the first place. The song speaks of the jealousy and loneliness experienced by the narrator as she wonders why her partner loves the other woman more than her. Ultimately, the narrator realizes that the other woman will spend her life alone, just as she will. It is the eleventh and final track from the standard version of Lana Del Rey's third studio album, Ultraviolence.
