{{Infobox song |image = Unreleased.png |artist = Lana Del Rey |written = [[Lana Del Rey]]<br>[[Robert Logan]]<br>[[Ivor Guest]] |producer = Robert Logan<br>Ivor Guest |recorded = 2008 |time = 4:00<br>{{OfficialVersions}} |Source = {{Source|Unreleased}}}} "'''Strangelove'''" (or "'''Strange Love'''") is an unreleased song by [[Lana Del Rey]]. It was recorded in 2008 and co-written and produced by [[Robert Logan]] and [[Ivor Guest]]. ==Background== Two versions of the song exist. The second version of the song leaked on August 12, 2013, followed by an earlier version being discovered on April 26, 2015. It was originally posted to SoundCloud by Robert Logan on September 27, 2013.<ref name="SoundCloud">{{Cite web|last=Logan|first=Robert|url=https://soundcloud.com/robert-logan/strangelove|title=Strangelove|work=SoundCloud|date=September 27, 2013|accessdate=March 26, 2024}}</ref> In the comment section of the song, Logan revealed that the song's stems were lost in a server crash. He also said that the song was recorded "on the spot" and seemingly clarified the order of production of the two versions of the song: the first to leak was actually created "later" than the version Logan would post on his SoundCloud.<ref name="SoundCloud"></ref> The song was written and recorded with Del Rey and was sent to her upon completion, though the producers never heard back from her. According to Logan, the sessions were done in 2008 and he described them as enjoyable. The sound was part of his own experimentation which Del Rey was open to and quickly worked with. No other tracks were produced from the sessions.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Logan|first=Robert|url= https://41.media.tumblr.com/34f7b75ea360684226a3e3b653939a6e/tumblr_nnfhztEIjk1qerg8so1_500.png|work=Tumblr|date=April 23, 2015|accessdate=March 26, 2024}}</ref> ==Cross-references== *A black motorcycle is mentioned in "[[Yayo (song)|Yayo]]". *TV is mentioned in "[[Television Heaven (song)|Television Heaven]]", "[[TV in Black & White (song)|TV in Black & White]]", "[[Last Girl on Earth (song)|Last Girl on Earth]]", "[[Prom Song (Gone Wrong) (song)|Prom Song (Gone Wrong)]]", and "[[Greenwich (song)|Greenwich]]". *Christmas is mentioned in "[[Smarty (song)|Smarty]]", "[[Trash Magic (song)|Trash Magic]]", "[[Pin Up Galore (song)|Pin Up Galore]]", and "[[Be My Daddy (song)|Be My Daddy]]". *The "edge of town" is referenced in "[[Hangin' Around (song)|Hangin' Around]]". *Del Rey asks her lover if she is "what he is dreaming of" in "[[Pretty When You Cry (song)|Pretty When You Cry]]". *Referenced in "[[Playing Dangerous (song)|Playing Dangerous]]". *"Could you be mine?" is a similar lyric to "would you be mine?" from “[[Lolita (song)|Lolita]]” *"Let me love you" is similarly used in "[[Let Me Love You like a Woman (song)|Let Me Love You like a Woman]]", "[[Madly (song)|Madly]]", and "[[I Was in a Bad Way (song)|I Was in a Bad Way]]". ==Official versions== *Version 1 — 4:00 *Version 2 — 3:47 ==Lyrics== ===Version 1=== {{Scroll box|content=<poem> Hey, stranger, my strange love Could you be mine?
