Lana Del Rey has addressed her involvement in Jack Whiteall feature [uuid=d1e02e4a-74d1-442c-a10b-b8206c22f259]Jay-Z, appears on new song Young And Beautiful - which she penned especially for the film.

Speaking of the movie, Digital Spy quotes Lana as saying: "It was an honour to work with Baz Luhrmann on his amazing adaptation of one of the most extraordinary books ever written.

"The movie is highly glamorous and exciting; Rick Nowels and I were thrilled to write the song for the film."

Jay-Z previously said of the film: "The Great Gatsby is that classic American story of one's introduction to extravagance, decadence and illusion.

"It's ripe for experimentation and ready to be interpreted with a modern twist. The imagination Baz brought to Moulin Rouge! made it a masterpiece, and Romeo + Juliet's score wasn't just in the background; the music became a character.

"This film's vision and direction has all the makings of an epic experience."

Jigga's wife Bey covers the Amy Winehouse classic Back To Black for the soundtrack, which you can listen to here!
