Old Money by Lana Del Rey Song Info
"Old Money" is a song by Lana Del Rey written with Robbie Fitzsimmons and Dan Heath. It is featured as the tenth track on Del Rey's second major-label studio album, Ultraviolence. The lyrics explore the feelings of growing old, feeling lonely and not getting over somebody. On Ultraviolence audio commentary, Lana said: "Old Money is probably one of the tracks on the record that’s the most idyllic of them all. It’s more based in kind of, fantastical snapshots I have of being on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, like I was channeling something. It’s really my oldest track on the record because it’s, it’s a song that’s been in the works for about 5 years. It was called 'Methamphetamines' at first. And what’s funny is, I had to talk to my publishing company, because, I didn’t know that I was referencing a melody from the original score of Romeo and Juliet from I think, the sixties. It was so similar that, you know half of the publishing belongs to them as well now. But obviously I was channeling something really nostalgic. For me it’s also one of my favorite tracks."
