Listened before knowing this and I wouldn't tell that max was involved.

EDIT: The beginning of the chrous reminded me a little bit to Wildest Dreams.

Such a team!

I love Rick Nowels and the production and the vibes of the song!
I don't like Abel's performance though.

Courtney Love: I've always wanted to work with Max Martin.

Lana del Rey: So basically, 'Lust for Life' was the first song I wrote for the record, but it was kind of a Rubik's Cube. I felt like it was a big song but... it wasn't right.

I don't usually go back and re-edit things that much, because the songs end up sort of being what they are, but this one song I kept going back to. I really liked the title. I liked the verse. John Janick was like, 'Why don't we just go over and see what Max Martin thinks?'

So, I flew to Sweden and showed him the song. He said that he felt really strongly that the best part was the verse and that he wanted to hear it more than once, so I should think about making it the chorus. So I went back to Rick Nowels' place the next day and I was like, 'Let's try and make the verse the chorus,' and we did, and it sounded perfect. That's when I felt like I really wanted to hear Abel sing the chorus, so he came down and rewrote a little bit of it. But then I was feeling like it was missing a little bit of the Shangri-Las element, so I went back for a fourth time and layered it up with harmonies. Now I'm finally happy with it.

Verse is "we are the masters of our own fate"? Best part?

It's the "Take off - take off - take off all your clothes" part

Seems like she's trying to imply that Max only gave advice on the song, although he's still credited as writer and producer. Or maybe he re-wrote the verse with the weeknd, but it's not said there.
