Take a listen to the aptly-named “Meet Me In the Pale Moonlight” below before heading off to the closest patch of moonlight to wait for Ms. Del Rey. The track is as upbeat a number as we’ve heard from the singer, a disco-inflected track with funky guitar melodies set to a thudding drum beat and a melodramatic swirl of strings underneath Del Rey’s husky voice. The song is an unlikely follow-up for the “Born to Die” and “Young and Beautiful” singer, and as intriguing as “Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight” is, the track will reportedly _not_ be included on her forthcoming album, as Del Rey explained on Twitter yesterday: While fans wait for “West Coast,” listen to the old track below. **MORE**: [Drake Drops Surprise Track “Draft Day”: Listen](http://time.com/46748/drake-draft-day-song/ "undefined") **MORE**: [Head to Rio With Janelle Monáe’s Cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes”](http://time.com/46666/janelle-monae-david-bowies-heroes/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/48349/lana-del-rey-meet-me-in-the-pale-moonlight/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/48349/lana-del-rey-meet-me-in-the-pale-moonlight/"},"headline":"Lana Del Rey Goes Disco In Old Track \"Meet Me In the Pale Moonlight,\" Reveals New Single Title \"West Coast\"","datePublished":"2014-04-04T13:41:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T07:33:50.066Z","description":"Where else would you meet her?","url":"https://time.com/48349/lana-del-rey-meet-me-in-the-pale-moonlight/","keywords":["Music","Lana Del Rey"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1a8ef767e05f9140/698683a7169ab0d594278114/lana-del-rey1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1a8ef767e05f9140/698683a7169ab0d594278114/lana-del-rey1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"lana-del-rey1","caption":"Lana Del Rey performs on stage at Scala on November 16, 2011 in London, United Kingdom.","creditText":"Andy Sheppard—Redferns/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/48349/lana-del-rey-meet-me-in-the-pale-moonlight/","name":"Lana Del Rey Goes Disco In Old Track \"Meet Me In the Pale Moonlight,\" Reveals New Single Title \"West Coast\""}}]}] ```
