Background

"Salvatore" premiered on Huw Stephens' BBC Radio 1 show on September 15, 2015, three days before the release of Honeymoon.

Del Rey described the song as "probably the [one] that's the most different from all the other tracks on the record." She described it as having an "Old World, Italian feel," and classified it as a "weirder" and "filmic" song. She stated that she loves the chorus of the song.

Lyrics

All the lights in Miami begin to gleam
Ruby, blue and green, neon too
Everything looks better from above, my king
Like aquamarine oceans blue

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Cacciatore
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Limousines
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ciao, amore
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Soft ice cream

All the lights are sparkling for you, it seems
On the downtown scenes, shady blue
Beatboxing and rapping in the summer rain
Like a boss, he sang jazz and blues

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Cacciatore
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Limousines
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ciao, amore
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Soft ice creams

The summer's wild
And I've been waiting for you all this time
I adore you
Can't you see you're meant for me?
The summer's hot
But I've been cold without you
I was so wrong not to tell
I’m in regine, tangerine dreams

Catch me if you can
Working on my tan
Salvatore
Dying by the hand of a foreign man, happily
Calling out my name
In the summer rain
Ciao, amore
Salvatore can wait
Now it's time to eat
Soft ice cream

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Cacciatore
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Limousines
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ciao, amore
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Soft ice cream
