The Grants

"The Grants" is a reflective gospel-influenced pop song where Lana Del Rey sings of carrying memories of her beloved ones into the afterlife. The title, which doesn't appear in the lyrics, comes from Del Rey's own family – her real name is Lizzie Grant.

In the first verse, Del Rey wonders if her boyfriend will stick around long enough to be considered family. So you say there's a chance for us? Should I do a dance for once? You're a family man, but Del Rey wrote the song with director and producer Mike Hermosa, whom she dated in 2021. It's likely she's addressing him.

In the pre-chorus, Del Rey contemplates the fate of our memories when we pass away. She recalls the words of a pastor who once told her that when we die, our memories are all that we take with us, leaving everything else behind. For Del Rey, the memories of her loved ones are the ones she cherishes and hopes will stay with her beyond death. This theme resonates with the message of her song "Yes To Heaven," where Del Rey pledges to make her love interest so happy, he'll feel like he is in heaven.
