Composition

"Terrence Loves You" is a lounge ballad.[1] It has been described as "hypnotic", with Del Rey singing over piano, strings, and a "moaning" saxophone. The song contains an interpolation of the song "Space Oddity" by English singer-songwriter David Bowie from his eponymous second studio album.[2] The song opens with isolated guitar notes plucked and dropped, before moving into the distance as piano chords appear, followed by violins, and, Del Rey's vocals. The chorus is delivered in an operatic style and lyrically talks about strength in the face of abandonment. Throughout the chorus, there are brief saxophone sections inserted and David Bowie references with lyrics such as “Ground control to Major Tom/ Can you hear me all night long?”.[6]

Critical reception

Rolling Stone called the song "hypnotic" and praised Del Rey's vocal performance.[7]
