Born to Die is a song by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, taken from her second studio album of the same name. The song was released as the singers second single on December 30, 2011, through Interscope Records. Musically, Born to Die is a ballad that speaks of a doomed relationship. The song was promoted with a music video, directed by Yoann Lemoine (a.k.a. Woodkid ), that portrays Del Rey in an unstable relationship with her boyfriend, played by model Bradley Soileau, as they go on a car trip that results in her death. At the 2012 UK Music Video Awards, Born to Die won the Best Pop - International Video award, outranking her other songs Blue Jeans and National Anthem which were also nominees. Critical reception for the video was generally positive. The video has garnered over one hundred million views. In September 2013, the Australian post-hardcore band The Amity Affliction released a cover of the song on their album Chasing Ghosts titled Born To Die, which was produced by the bands guitarist Troy Brady, and mixed by Sonny Truelove.
