"Cruel World” is the opening track from Lana Del Rey’s 2014 album Ultraviolence. This track is also her personal favorite. Here’s how she described it: "I went down to the beach and I was thinking about everything, personally. The verse is thoughtful and laid back, but then the chorus falls into this world of chaotic and heavy sub-bass. The juxtaposition of those two worlds, the peaceful beginning and the chaotic chorus, it summed up my personal circumstances of everything going easily and then everything being f*cked up.
