Music video
Del Rey spoke about a possible music video for the track during an Instagram livestream on September 4, 2019. She said, "I feel like 'Love Song' is the kind of song you have to have a video for, to realize that it's kinda special—cause otherwise it's pretty stark." She continued she had an idea for it saying, "I'd like to paint it, like have a painted video, like a Monet that came to life."

Lyrics
<poem> In the car, in the car In the backseat, I'm your baby We go fast, we go so fast, we don't move I believe in a place you take me Make you real proud of your baby
In your car, I'm a star and I'm burnin' through you In your car, I'm a star and I'm burnin' through you
Oh, be my once in a lifetime Lying on your chest, in my party dress I'm a fucking mess but I Oh, thanks for the high life Baby, it's the best, passed the test And yes, now I'm here with you and I
Would like to think that you would stick around You know that I just die to make you proud The taste, the touch, the way we love It all comes down to make the sound of our love song
Dream a dream, here's a scene Touch me anywhere 'cause I'm your baby Grab my waist, don't waste any part I believe that you see me for who I am So spill my clothes on the floor of your new car
Is it safe, is it safe, to just be who we are? Is it safe, is it safe, to just be who we are?
Oh, be my once in a lifetime Lying on your chest, in my party dress I'm a fucking mess but I Oh, thanks for the high life Baby, it's the best, passed the test And yes, now I'm here with you and I
Would like think that you would stick around You know that I just die to make you proud The taste, the touch, the way we love It all comes down to make the sound of our love song
The taste, the touch, the way we love It all comes down to make the sound of our love song </poem
