{{Infobox song |image = Unreleased.png |artist = Lana Del Rey <small>as Lana Del Ray</small> |written = [[Lana Del Rey]]<br>[[Princess Superstar]] |producer = Princess Superstar |recorded = 2009<br>November 1, 2009<small> ("Bollywood Hawaii" demo)</small> |time = 3:30<br>{{OfficialVersions}} |Source = {{Source|Unreleased}}}} "'''Maha Maha'''" (also known as "'''Bollywood Hawaii'''" and "'''Maha'''") is an unreleased song by [[Lana Del Rey]]. It was co-written and produced by [[Princess Superstar]]. ==Background== The track was recorded in 2009 in the same session as "[[Live Forever (Golden Grill) (song)|Live Forever (Golden Grill)]]", "[[Moi Je Joue (song)|Moi Je Joue]]", and "[[Catch and Release (song)|Catch and Release]]". According to [[Princess Superstar]], it is both her and Del Rey's favorite track the two did together.{{Citation needed}} In a video on TikTok, Superstar revealed she became familiar with the term "maha" through a yoga studio she had been attending.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tiktok.com/@therealprincesssuperstar/video/7280964687657831726|title=early days of Lana Del Rey and producing Maha Maha for her!|work=TikTok|date=September 20, 2023|accessdate=December 13, 2023}}</ref> The song was recorded in Superstar's in-home recording studio in an apartment on the lower east side of East Village, New York City called Red Square.<ref>[https://soundcloud.com/princess-superstar/lana-del-rey-super-rough-demo Princess Superstar post on SoundCloud]</ref>{{Dead link}} The song's instrumental is titled "Bollywood Hawaii in Space",<ref>{{Cite web|title=Lana Del Rey : un nouveau titre fait surface|work=NRJ|date=July 31, 2013|accessdate=December 29, 2023|url=https://www.nrj.fr/artistes/lana-del-rey/actus/lana-del-rey-un-nouveau-titre-fait-surface-301748}}</ref> which is likely derived from the title of one of Del Rey's demos of the song. The second demo of the song, titled "Maha", leaked on July 15, 2013. On July 28, Princess Superstar uploaded the final version of the song to her SoundCloud. The first demo of the song, titled "Bollywood Hawaii", leaked on September 17. All three versions of the song contain different vocal takes, production, and lyrics. In 2022, Princess Superstar uploaded a rework of the final version to her SoundCloud, though it has since been removed. ==Cross-references== *Many songs reference a lover leaving, such as "[[Ride (song)|Ride]]", "[[Flipside (song)|Flipside]]", and "[[Pretty When You Cry (song)|Pretty When You Cry]]". *The supernatural is referenced in "[[Raise Me Up (Mississippi South) (song)|Raise Me Up (Mississippi South)]]". *Del Rey also uses French lyrics in "[[Carmen (song)|Carmen]]" and "[[Heavy Hitter (song)|Neon Palmmm]]", and references the country in "[[Take Me to Paris (song)|Take Me to Paris]]" and "[[St. Tropez (song)|St. Tropez]]". *The line "I need your love" from "Maha" can also be found in "[[The Blackest Day (song)|The Blackest Day]]" and "[[Religion (song)|Religion]]". *References to Hawaii can also be found in "[[Wayamaya (song)|Wayamaya]]" and "[[Hawaiian Tropic (song)|Hawaiian Tropic]]". ==Official versions== *Final version — 3:30 **2022 rework — 3:34 *"Bollywood Hawaii" demo — 4:58 *"Maha" demo — 3:35 ==Lyrics== ===Final version=== {{Scroll_box|content=<poem> Every time that you walk out on me I regress back to the one that I can't see He's someone I have never talked about 'Cause I know that we'd both be dead if you found out Every time you tell me that I'm wrong I just can't remember how to play along There's something I have never told you I'm not really from this world There's something I have been withholding I'm not like every other girl Loha, loha, maihi, maihi, yoha, yoho Loha, loha, maihi, maihi, yoha, yoho You are the man of my dreams that I've waited for You are the man of my dreams that I've waited for So, if you begin to think that my light might be supernatural I'd have to say, "You're right, you're right, mon cher, it is."
