"'Coachella Woodstock In My Mind'" is a song by American singer Lana Del Rey. It was officially released worldwide as the lone promotional single from her fifth studio album, 'Lust for Life', on May 15, 2017.
Background and writing
The song was first announced on the Arabic streaming service Anghami on May 13, 2017.
Del Rey wrote the song and posted a video of herself on Instagram singing a short snippet of it on April 17, 2017. She recorded the video after attending the 2017 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, and she captioned the video saying:
I'm not gonna lie- I had complex feelings about spending the weekend dancing whilst watching tensions w North Korea mount. I find It's a tightrope between being vigilantly observant of everything going on in the world and also having enough space and time to appreciate God's good earth the way it was intended to be appreciated. On my way home I found myself compelled to visit an old favorite place of mine at the rim of the world highway where I took a moment to sit down by the sequoia grove and write a little song. I just wanted to share this in hopes that one individual's hope and prayer for peace might contribute to the possibility of it in the long run. Hope everyone has a nice day, with love from California.
Composition
"Coachella Woodstock in My Mind" has been described by 'The Guardian' as a "sedated trap track". It is a ballad that 'Exclaim!' has described as "an electronic spin on Lana's classic torch-song style". The song's chorus is a "lyrical hat-tip" to "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.
