"Young and Beautiful" is a song by American recording artist Lana Del Rey used for the soundtrack to the drama film ''The Great Gatsby'' (2013). It was released on April 23, 2013 by Interscope Records as the lead single from the record. "Young & Beautiful" was co-written by Del Rey and the track's producer, Rick Nowels (with an uncredited assist from director Baz Luhrmann).〔''Music from Baz Luhrmann's Film The Great Gatsby'' (liner notes).〕 Contemporary music critics lauded the single, calling it "haunting" and "somber". Lyrically, "Young & Beautiful" follows a young lover's apprehension about whether love can last. A music video, directed by Chris Sweeney and filmed by Sophie Muller, was released on May 10, 2013. The song was used in commercials to promote the new season of the MTV reality show Catfish. "Young & Beautiful" reached the top ten in Australia where it was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It was also top 10 hit on Serbian airplay chart, peaking at number 9.〔(POP TOP LISTA - TOP 50 SRBIJA )〕 In May 2013, the song broke into the ''Billboard'' Hot 100; it peaked at 22 on the chart, making it Del Rey's highest peak since "Video Games" peaked at 91 in 2012. Shortly after, the song also peaked at 3 on the Hot Rock Songs chart. Del Rey and Nowels received accolades for their songwriting from various music and film awards, including nominations for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, and Best Song at the 19th Critics' Choice Awards. They eventually won the Best Original Song at the 18th Satellite Awards. On January 26, 2014, "Young and Beautiful" was announced as number 7 on the annual Triple J's Hottest 100 in Australia.〔(The Countdown | Hottest 100 - 2013 | triple j )〕 ==Background== Working with the film's director, co-writer, and co-producer Baz Luhrmann, Del Rey penned the original song "Young & Beautiful" for the soundtrack of the 2013 rendition of the novel ''The Great Gatsby'', written from the perspective of Daisy Buchanan.〔 (Note: This article asserts Baz Luhrmann co-wrote the song, but he is not credited as such in either the soundtrack's liner notes or the film's credits.)〕 In an interview with Catalunya Ràdio; Del Rey said she had three new songs for her third extended play, ''Paradise'': "I Sing the Body Electric", "In the Land of Gods and Monsters" and "Will You Still Love Me When I'm No Longer Young and Beautiful". Del Rey sang the chorus of "Young and Beautiful" during the Catalunya Ràdio broadcast. Baz Luhrmann later gave an interview which contained a Skype chat with Del Rey, where Luhrmann said "we are very lucky that the song found a film", implying the song had already been penned prior to the film. Luhrmann changed some of the lyrics in the beginning of the second verse from the demo version of "Will You Still Love Me" to fit with the film. It clearly was always intended for ''Paradise'', which did get picked up by various media.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Guardian )〕 The song was released to contemporary hit radio as a single and was used as the film's kickoff single. A snippet of the track appeared in the official trailer for the film and played during the scene where the characters portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan express their romantic feelings for one another. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
