Summertime Sadness (song)

Edit
This page uses Creative Commons Licensed content from Wikipedia (view authors).

"Summertime Sadness" (also registered as "Summertime",[1] but not to be confused with the cover of the same name) is a song written by Lana Del Rey and Rick Nowels in 2011, produced by Emile Haynie. Taken from Del Rey's first major-label album Born to Die, the song was released as the album's fourth official single worldwide on June 22, 2012. A remix of the song by Cedric Gervais was released worldwide on July 11, 2013, furthering the song's success.

Background and writing[]

About the writing of the song, Del Rey told SuperSuper:[2]

"'Summertime Sadness' is a song that I love because I didn't compromise when I wrote it at all. I wrote exactly what I felt, and put a melody to it that was perfect for the words. I was staying in Santa Monica, California with my composer and best friend, Daniel Heath. I would sit under the telephone wires and listen to them sizzle in the warm air while he went to work. I wanted to take the electricity and absorb it so it would make me feel alive and electric again. I felt happy in the warm weather and started writing about how sad and gorgeous the summertime felt to me."

In 2015, Rick Nowels would reveal that the song was written in the same session as "TV in Black & White" and "Dark Paradise".[3]

Three snippets of an alternate final version of the song produced by Patrik Berger leaked on May 11, 2016, and April 20 and August 31, 2017, respectively. It wouldn't leak in full until January 31, 2020. Another demo, produced by Rick Nowels, leaked on an unspecified date. The original file of this demo is titled "Summertime Sadness KM mix 017", which suggests it was mixed by longtime Nowels collaborator, Kieron Menzies. On January 1, 2024, a writer's demo of the song sang by Nowels leaked. According to an insider, the song's two radio mixes are reportedly finished demos from sessions with Nowels.[S 1]

In mid-2022, the song went viral on TikTok, with hundreds of thousands of individual videos made using the sound, amassing millions of views. Following the song's virality on the social media platform, a sped up version of the song was released on September 26, 2022, in collaboration with Speed Radio.

Lana Del Rey vs. Cedric Gervais remix[]

French DJ Cedric Gervais was commissioned by Universal Germany to remix the song in January 2013. Interscope and Polydor initially turned down the remix, so it was released in European markets by EDM label Spinnin' Records on Beatport by February. Once it gained significant traction after being showcased on BBC Radio 1 and Sirius XM, Interscope pushed it to Top 40 radio play in the United States and later cleared the song for official release.

The remix became a hit, peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the UK's OCC Top 100 charts, among other indications of it becoming an international success. Cedric Gervais subsequently won the Grammy for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for the remix at the 56th Grammy Awards. It was also nominated for EDM Song of the Year at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

While being interviewed on the Money Buys Happiness podcast in 2023, Gervais spoke about the remix and his perception of Del Rey's reluctance to accept the fame that came with the success of it. While reportedly happy with Gervais winning the Grammy (he notes that she sent him a picture giving him a thumbs up after the ceremony), Gervais said that Del Rey did not wish to push his later remix of "Young and Beautiful" to US or UK markets after the previous track's success. He then shared that Del Rey turned down a joint orchestral performance at the Wilshire Grand Center for the American Music Awards, as well as an invitation to join Gervais onstage for a performance of "Summertime Sadness" at his 2015 Coachella performance.[4]

Composition[]

"Summertime Sadness" is a trip-hop ballad written in the key of C♯ Minor. Del Rey's vocals cover exactly two octaves, ranging from C♯3 to C♯5. It is performed at approximately 112 beats per minute and runs at a duration of four minutes and twenty-five seconds.

Critical reception[]

In his track-by-track review of Born to Die for Billboard, Andrew Hampp wrote of "Summertime Sadness": "the pouty title alone drew giggles at Del Rey's Bowery gig, but the song itself proves to be one of the more durable tracks here even if its lyrics start to get redundant".[5] Amy Sciarretto of PopCrush noted, "on an album marked by shoe gazing moments, [the song] is Lana Del Rey at her most head down. But even though there is a palpable damaged girl in her voice, she commands attention with her lazy delivery."[6] Los Angeles Times named it among the best tracks on the album along with "Video Games" and "Dark Paradise".[7]

The song ranked #456 on Rolling Stone's 2021 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.[8]

Accolades[]

The Cedric Gervais remix of the song was nominated for EDM Song of the Year at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The song was the first of Del Rey's to be inducted into the Billions Club - an award given to artists for songs that reach one billion streams on Spotify in the form of a plaque - in 2023.

Live performances[]

Del Rey first performed the song at the Bowery Ballroom on December 5, 2011, before the song was officially released. At the end of the performance, she stated: "I know you don't care, but you're gonna fucking like it when it's on the record". It has since been included on the set list for every one of her subsequent concert and festival tours. Alongside fellow Born to Die singles "Video Games", "Born to Die", and "Blue Jeans", "Summertime Sadness" has become one of Del Rey's most-performed songs.

The song was a part of a session recorded by Del Rey's live touring band in preparation for her Paradise Tour performances. The full rehearsal session, which featured Del Rey's pre-recorded vocals and were created with the intent of aiding the tour's videographer, leaked on October 15, 2020.

Background[]

The music video for "Summertime Sadness" was filmed in April and May 2012, and was released on June 22. It was directed by Kyle Newman and Spencer Susser. Newman's ex-wife, actress Jaime King, stars alongside Del Rey in the video, and stated that the video is about "not being able to live without the one you love...friend or lover it doesn't matter, [it's] whatever you want it to be".[citation needed] Actor Alex Pettyfer reportedly also helped out on set as a production assistant.[9]

Since the release of the music video, fan speculation has inferred it to be a story based on a friend of Del Rey's who committed suicide at the bridge featured in the video. Co-star Jaime King seemingly confirmed this rumored story in 2020 Instagram comments,[10] though it has never been confirmed by Del Rey.

Description[]

The music video opens to a shot of Del Rey singing the first verse, her character then approaching the edge of a cliff and jumping to her death. Her haunting likeness continues to sing the song surrounded by smoke and in front of a projector, while interspersed with shots of a distraught Jaime King's character, who is shown in flashback home videos with Del Rey to be a close friend or lover. Among further experimental clips of Del Rey and King, the song builds up to King's character taking her own life after jumping from a bridge. Both stars are shown simultaneously falling. The rest of the video is a supercut of hazy, dreamlike sequences including that of a graveyard, a tearful Jaime King, and Del Rey walking down an empty road, among other previously shown scenes meant to mimic haunting flashbacks. The entire music video is overlayed with a grainy, film-like filter and is disorientingly edited in some scenes to amplify its nihilistic nature.

Copyright issues[]

Since its release, the music video opened with a clip and a bit of audio from a short film by the name of Sky, directed by Spanish director Lucas Bolaño and released in 2009. In July 2022, Bolaño sued Del Rey and Universal Music Group for using this imagery from his film without his permission, along with the audio clip of an actress saying, "Remember, I'll always love you, bye". The clip also samples Bolaño's own song "strange little dumplings", released under the name Experimental Little Monkey. According to Bolaño, the use of the clips was "egregious", and a "blatant disregard" to his rights. Del Rey's lawyers argued that it was too late for Bolaño to sue for the alleged copyright infringement, though Bolaño stated he hadn't seen the video until 2021. In June 2023, the matter was settled with Bolaño dropping his case and the clip being removed from the video on all streaming platforms entirely.[11]

Behind the scenes[]

Alternate music videos[]

An alternate version of the music video, containing unseen clips, played on German television in 2012. A screenshot of this version leaked on December 29, 2022, though it has not leaked in full.


A radio mix edit of the video was shared to Clipfish in Germany on July 20, 2012,[12] though the file is no longer accessible.

The version of the video available on streaming sites from 2012 to 2023 has not yet resurfaced in high quality.

Remix music video[]

The video was re-edited for the release of the Cedric Gervais remix.

Album version & radio mixes[]

Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know that, baby, you the best

I got my red dress on tonight
Dancin' in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feelin' alive

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore (1, 2, 3, 4)

Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know that, baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness, oh, ohh

I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruisin' down the coast, goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore (1, 2, 3, 4)

Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know that, baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness, oh, ohh

Think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Later's better than never
Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive, (Drive), drive

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness, oh, ohh

Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know that, baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness, oh, ohh
