"Blue Jeans" is a song written by Lana Del Rey, Emile Haynie, and Dan Heath and produced by Haynie in 2011. Taken from Del Rey's first major-label album Born to Die, the song served as the album's third single worldwide. It was officially released as a single on April 8, 2012.
Background and writing
The song was written by Del Rey, Haynie, and Heath in the same sessions as "Video Games" and was originally released with the song as a B-side on October 7, 2011 before being released individually as the third single from Born to Die. But before "Blue Jeans" was officially released as an B-side to "Video Games", Del Rey uploaded the original music video for the song onto her personal YouTube channel, on September 11, 2011. Lyrically, it tells a story similar to the narrative in "Dear Elliot", a song from Del Rey's unreleased acoustic first album Sirens.
The background vocals, strings and the sample "Sure" stems were leaked on May 13, 2018.

Composition
Musically, "Blue Jeans" is an down-tempo pop-ballad song with an alternative hip-hop beat and highly orchestrated instrumentation. It is composed in the key of F Minor with Del Rey's vocals ranging from F3 to F5. According to Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian, the composition of the song is "powerfully atmospheric". The song focuses on use of the repeated chorus, which highlights a fragility in Del Rey's voice, and the polarizing hip-hop influenced beat which contrasts the lyrical and vocal content. The song contains heavy use of male background vocals, much like in "Born to Die", and includes coo-like background vocals from Del Rey herself. It samples a spoken line from a live performance of "Mary Jane" by Rick James, also heard in "National Anthem", "Lolita", "Dark Paradise" and "Without You". The instrumental is primarily composed of simple string instruments, guitar, and percussion. The combination of hip-hop and chamber pop featured in the song has become a continuous theme in Del Rey's music.
Critical reception
Slant magazine said that Del Rey "uses her impressive range to dazzling effect on, "Blue Jeans", comparing her delinquent lover to both cancer and her favorite sweater in what seems like one swooning breath".[1] NME said that "Blue Jeans' lush Chris Isaakshades shimmer like sea-spume on Helena Christensen’s naked thighs as Del Rey longs for her James Dean".[2] Sputnikmusic stated that it's reminiscent of the music in Quentin Tarantino's films and named it one of the best song on the album.[3] Beats Per Minute said that “Blue Jeans would probably be described by Del Rey as “gangsta spaghetti western,” but, aside from its most basic of forced rhymes (“‘Cause I’mma ride or die / Whether you fail or fly / Well shit at least you tried”), it is still a clever spin on genre, sounding unique, even inspired".[4] DOA magazine said that "The lyrics-centric story-telling “Blue Jeans” slows it down a bit with a deliberate, but swinging beat as Lana delves into a relationship where the guy is a “Big dreams / gangsta…” and the girl wants him to stop living that lifestyle. Midway into the song the pace speeds up and Lana crams in a lot of lyrics, keeping the rhymes tight and the emotions high, until it dissipates into a dreamy chorus with Lana proclaiming “I will love you till the end of time".[5] No Ripcord said that "Just like in the dark ballad 'Blue Jeans', Del Rey sounds more comfortable when she tries to perform as a tough songstress".[6] Music OMH said that "Video Games and Blue Jeans, despite suffering Adele style levels of ubiquity in recent months, still sound achingly beautiful, both of them sounding like the saddest love songs ever written".[7] Consequence of Sound said that “Blue Jeans and “Video Games” inextricably link Del Rey’s flaxen locks with starry-eyed classical instruments, providing the aural and visual irresistibility of a good montage".[8] In 2018, Rolling Stone listed “Blue Jeans” as the 35th greatest song of the century, adding “Del Rey exudes an alluring sense of longing on this slow-melt Cali-goth benediction”.

Live performances and use in media
Del Rey performed the song live for the first time publicly on November 4, 2011, in Manchester, United Kingdom, on the first date of her first official concert tour, the Born to Die Tour. It has since been included as part of the setlists for the Born to Die Tour (2011–2012), the Paradise Tour (2013–2014), the Endless Summer Tour (2015), the Festival Tour (2016), and the LA to the Moon Tour (2018), as well as other miscellaneous live performances, making it one of her most frequently performed live songs.
For her promotional television appearances, Del Rey performed the song alongside "Video Games" live on American late-night television show Saturday Night Live, on January 14, 2012, as her American television debut, although the performance was received with a large media reaction and backlash. Del Rey also performed the song live on French talk show Le Grand Journal on January 30, 2012, on Italian talk show Le invasioni barbariche on April 13, 2012, as well as on British television show The Voice UK on April 29, 2012.
The song was used in an episode of the CW show, Ringer, "It's Easy to Cry When This Much Cash Is Involved". It is often highlighted as a proponent to the launch of Del Rey's career.
The instrumental version of the song is used in both a Nespresso commercial and a commercial for the University of Phoenix.

Background
The song was released as a double-A side with "Video Games", which had received a video treatment with Del Rey's previous style of combining webcam clips and older film bits. Stranger Records, who released the single, also asked Del Rey to film a video for Blue Jeans in a similar fashion.
Description
Del Rey shot this version of "Blue Jeans" on July 22, 2011 in concurrence with the various Born to Die promotional photoshoots and album photoshoot done with Nicole Nodland. The clips of Lana were shot in Miami, Florida. The clips used show places such as Las Vegas, Nevada and San Francisco, California. The video was posted September 9, 2011. The video contains various shots of Del Rey in multiple outfits, interlaced with her traditional film noir clips. The second version is similar to the first one but with extremely few changes, almost unnoticeable. Also, it is slightly shorter.
Scene #1
The video begins with a clip of Lawrence Ferlinghetti reading The Lord's Prayer from the film The Last Waltz. It primarily contains various shots of Del Rey in a white sweater, primarily in black & white. It also shows her in highly desaturated shots sitting in a truck. Very small clips taken from her older videos shot for Lana Del Ray are shown, as well as short clips of her behind-the-scenes of the photoshoots with both photographers Michael Hemy and Heinz Peter Knes. Clips of various locations and people such as Las Vegas strip, rapper Tupac Shakur, and skateboarders are interlaced in between the various shots of Del Rey.
Scene #2
Relatively late into the song, the video of Del Rey focuses on the part of her photoshoot with Nicole Nodland that would later be used as the album cover for Born to Die. The video ends with the song fading into The Sword of Truth, a song by Justin Bianco, and clips of Super-8 camera shots of San Francisco, California.

Background
Upon official release of "Blue Jeans" as a single, Interscope commissioned Yoann Lemoine, who had previously directed the video for "Born to Die" to shoot a new video for the song. A second version of the video that is slightly shorter and has less special effects surfaced online.
Description
The video completes the "K" trilogy, starting with "Video Games" and "Born to Die". The video was shot completely in black & white, and remains the only video of Del Rey's to be so. The video was shot in March, 2012. It was leaked 3 days before it was officially released, slightly edited, on March 16, 2012. The official version premiered on March 19, 2012.
Scene #1 (Reflection)
The video begins with an orchestral opening of "Blue Jeans" featuring violins. Del Rey is shown blurred on a black water reflection, and she herself ripples as the camera slowly zooms in.
Scene #2 (Poolside)
The video cuts to black for a second before the actual song begins. Bradley Soileau is shown smoking by a pool, next to a 50's-style home and palm trees. Del Rey is shown on the ground, and wakes up with the beginning of her singing. She is then shown to be inside the home, looking out upon Soileau. The camera alternates between up-close shots of her and Soileau removing his clothing. During the chorus, the video cuts back to showing her laying poolside singing, while Soileau caresses her and puts his index and middle finger into her mouth. He begins to splash water from the pool onto himself and dives into the pool while Del Rey remains poolside.
Scene #3 (Entering)
With the beginning of the second verse, a slightly submerged shot shows Del Rey entering the pool. Short shots of Soileau and an albino crocodile are shown while she submerges with a hesitant look.
Scene #4 (Submerged)
Once underwater, the second chorus begins. Various shots, including Del Rey gracefully swimming underwater with the crocodile near her and close-up shots of her singing while water ripples over her are shown. Del Rey and Soileau swim to each other and embrace, before kissing.
Scene #5 (Crocodiles)
With the beginning of the bridge, the shot of Del Rey swimming underwater includes many more crocodiles. Soon, shots of Soileau and a crocodile rapidly switch, indicating that they are the same entity. Eventually, Del Rey embraces only the crocodile. Shots of Del Rey rippling against the black pool background, Soileau, Del Rey singing underwater, and Del Rey swimming with the crocodiles begin to rapidly change before Soileau pushes Del Rey underwater.
Scene #6 (Embrace)
After coming up for air, Soileau is shown holding Del Rey in an embrace while the two slowly twirl in the water. In the end, Soileau holds Del Rey by the throat while the two begin to sink. The video ends with the music slowed down and them completely submerged.

Lyrics
Album version
Blue jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like, James Dean, for sure
You're so fresh to death & sick as cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favourite sweater and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!
I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time
Big dreams, gangsta
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like - no please, stay here, we don't need no money we can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin', and pacin' but he was chasing paper
Caught up in the game - that was the last I heard
I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time
You went out every night
And baby that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did I'd be by your side
'Cause imma ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well shit at least you tried
But when you walked out that door a piece of me died
I told you I wanted more, but that's not what I had in mind
I just want it like before
We were dancin' all night
Then they took you away, stole you out of my life
You just need to remember...
I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time
Demo version
Blue jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes hurt
It was like James Dean, for sure
So-so fresh to death and sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
That love's mean (uh-oh), and love hurts, (uh-oh!)
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!
I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more, than them tricks before
Say you'll remember, (oh baby) say you'll remember, (oh baby hoo)
I will love you till the end of time
Big dreams, gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like, "No please, stay here,
We don't need no money, we can make it all work"
Headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but he was
Chasing paper, "Got caught up in the game" it was the last I heard
I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more, than them tricks before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember, oh baby hoo-o!
I will love you till the end of time
