Ultraviolence (song)

"Ultraviolence" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey for her third studio album of the same name (2014).

According to Brenna Ehrlich of MTV News, "Ultraviolence" tells the story of a "typical Lana Del Rey romantic relationship: broken, failed and painful".

"[5] Kevin Rutherford of Radio.com remarked that "Ultraviolence" maintained the theme of songs previously released from the album; it "ups the lilting, low-tempo, strings-heavy form" Del Rey had established in her earlier work.

[7] A writer for the Music Times commented that the "violins, lightly thumping drums and Del Rey's angelic singing" gave the song a "church-y" feel, pointing out that the track presented her "title sound".

Nolan Feeney of Time criticized the song for its glorification of domestic violence, mentioning Lorde's comment on Del Rey's music: "This sort of shirt-tugging, desperate, don't leave me stuff.

In the video, Del Rey can be seen wearing a white wedding dress with a veil and a bouquet of flowers in her hands, wandering around an outside setting and later entering a church (Cappella di San Sebastiano).
