What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

Holly Macve:

I sometimes feel my intuition wrote this song for me. I was temporarily living in a suburban house from the ‘50s, on the outskirts of west London. It was like a time capsule and hadn’t been changed since the '70s. There was a beautiful old piano there and one day I sat down and the song came to me unexpectedly all at once. The song made perfect sense to me only a week later.

Lana Del Rey:

Ever since I heard Holly’s music I knew she had one of the most beautiful singing voices in the world. Her flawless, emotional vocals have inspired me over the last six years and I love her songs and I’m especially proud of featuring on this one.

I sometimes feel my intuition wrote this song for me. I was temporarily living in a Suburban house from the ’50s, on the outskirts of West London.

The song made perfect sense to me only a week later.

A few months later I visited Lana whilst in LA and we shared new songs with each other. I played this to her live and that was the start of it becoming a duet. When I first heard her sing the second verse, it was like a dream—her voice was just so perfect for the song and heavenly sounding. It goes without saying that I’m a huge fan of hers. She’s an inspiration to me in many different ways, so when she DM’d me I was pretty shook, to say the least.
