"Lust for Life" is a song by American singer Lana Del Rey featuring Canadian singer The Weeknd. It was released on April 19, 2017, through Polydor Records and Interscope Records, as the second single from her upcoming fifth studio album of the same name (2017). The song was written and produced by Del Rey and Rick Nowels, with additional writing from The Weeknd and Max Martin and additional production from Dean Reid and Kieron Menzies. It is her first song to feature another artist.

In an interview with Courtney Love for Dazed magazine, Del Rey revealed that "Lust for Life" was the first song she wrote for the album and got an assist from Max Martin for it. She traveled to his Sweden compound where he encouraged her to turn what had previously been a verse into the song's chorus. Upon returning to her main producer Rick Nowels' place, she realized the one extra element she needed for the track. That's when she felt she "really wanted" to hear Canadian singer The Weeknd sing the chorus, so he came down and "rewrote a little bit of it," but then she stated she felt like it was missing something, so she went back for a fourth time and layered it up with harmonies. "Lust for Life" was first registered at ASCAP under Del Rey's name during March 2017, with The Weeknd credited as a co-writer under his real name Abel Tesfaye. Later, Del Rey teased the collaboration on March 26, 2017 via Twitter, with Tesfaye's signature logo. The logo, which is also the logo of his record label XO, was also included in the Lust for Life album trailer.
