Did you know?

The song’s lyrics delve into the existential fear of losing one’s youth and beauty, which are often tied to self-worth and desirability.

The opening lines, “I’ve seen the world, done it all, had my cake now,” suggest a life of experience and indulgence, but the subsequent question, “Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?” reveals a deep-seated insecurity about aging.

This theme is further emphasized in the chorus, where the repeated phrase “Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?” underscores the protagonist’s vulnerability and fear of being abandoned once her physical allure fades.

The song’s melancholic tone and Del Rey’s signature dreamy, atmospheric style enhance the sense of wistful nostalgia and romantic uncertainty, making it a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the enduring nature of love.
