While “Video Games” also explores devotion, it retains ironic distance. “Never Let Me Go” lacks that irony. It’s closer to “Dark Paradise” or “Gods & Monsters,” but even more stripped of agency. Where “Ride” ends with a monologue about freedom, “Never Let Me Go” ends with repetition—a loop of need. It is Lana at her most .
"Never Let Me Go" was written by Lana Del Rey alongside Justin Parker, the songwriter behind some of her biggest hits including "Video Games" and "National Anthem."
For audiophiles who want the best sound quality (often higher than streaming), purchasing the track from digital stores is the best option.
Another reason is the song's sense of nostalgia and retro futurism. Del Rey's music often evokes the classic films and music of the 1950s and 60s, but "Never Let Me Go" feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, like a song that could have been written at any time.
