Lust for Life is the fifth studio album and fourth major-label record by American singer Lana Del Rey, released on July 21, 2017. The lead single, titled "Love", was released worldwide on February 18, 2017, and the album title was announced on March 29, 2017, through a trailer on Del Rey's official Vevo channel on YouTube. The title track, which features Canadian singer The Weeknd, was released on April 19 as the second single. The album also features guest appearances from A$AP Rocky, Stevie Nicks, Sean Lennon, and Playboi Carti.
Lana Del Rey first discussed the follow-up album to Honeymoon during an interview with NME magazine in December 2015. When asked where she would like to go with it and when it would be released, she replied by saying, "I do have early thoughts about what I'd like to do with it. My label, Interscope, is pretty flexible and open to my records coming out at any time, so I don't have that pressure. I'm just happy to be able to keep on making music I can stand behind. That's enough for me." In February 2016, during Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Gala, Del Rey told Billboard that her upcoming record would be a different direction from Honeymoon, while retaining the same aesthetic.
On February 18, 2017, the album's lead single, "Love" was released. On April 18, in an interview with Courtney Love for Dazed, Del Rey confirmed a collaboration on the album with The Weeknd called "Lust for Life", and a collaboration with Sean Lennon called "Tomorrow Never Came". She claimed to have worked with Max Martin for the title track, and was inspired by The Shangri-Las for the record's sound. A collaboration with Stevie Nicks entitled "Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems" was also confirmed to be featured on the album. The second single, "Lust for Life", was released on April 19. The title of the album was announced on March 29, 2017, when Del Rey released a trailer for the album, and the album's cover art was released by Del Rey on social media on April 11, 2017. The album was released on July 21, 2017.
