Who performed the song “Young and Beautiful” for the 2013 film? Lana Del Rey performed “Young and Beautiful” for Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 film The Great Gatsby.

The song was written by Lana Del Rey and Rick Nowels and became the soundtrack’s lead single. Its orchestral pop arrangement, dreamy vocals, and anxious question about whether love survives aging fit the film’s themes of romance, nostalgia, glamour, and loss. In the movie, it is associated with Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship.

Del Rey wrote the song while collaborating with Luhrmann on the film. The lyrics are presented from Daisy Buchanan’s emotional perspective, making the track more than a period-style love song: it reflects Daisy’s fear that beauty, youth, and devotion may not last. Luhrmann’s soundtrack deliberately mixed contemporary pop, hip-hop, jazz, and electronic music with the story’s 1920s setting.

The track was released as a single on April 23, 2013, shortly before the film’s soundtrack album. It was also nominated for Grammy Awards, including Best Song Written for Visual Media.
