JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Lana Del Rey menjadikan lagu "West Coast" sebagai singel utama dari album studio ketiganya yang bertajuk Ultraviolence (2014).
Lirik dalam lagu ini ditulis olehnya dengan bantuan Rick Nowels yang memang kerap diajak bekerja sama dalam berbagai proyeknya.
Mengutip perkataan Lana Del Rey dalam wawancara bersama radio Triple J, ia mengatakan bahwa bait pertama yang berbunyi, "If you're not drinking, you're not playing," merupakan perkataan seseorang saat ia berada di pesta pantai.
Lana Del Rey berpikir bahwa kalimat tersebut dapat menjadi pembuka yang bagus untuk lagu ini.
