Lana Del Rey has decided to 'retire' her song 'Cola' due to its association with Harvey Weinstein.
The song appeared on her 'Paradise' EP, and was prompted by an idealised version of the Hollywood casting couch.
The explicit lyrics detail an older executive lavishing gifts on a young starlet, and was believed to have been prompted by figures such as Harvey Weinstein.
She told MTV: "When I wrote that song, I suppose I had like a Harvey Weinstein/Harry Winston type of character in mind."
"I envisioned, like, a benevolent, diamond-bestowing-upon-starlets visual, like a Citizen Kane or something," the singer continued. "I thought it was funny at the time, and I obviously find it really sad now."
Lana stated: "I support the women who have come forward. I think they're really brave for doing that."
Asked if she would now 'retire' the song from her live sets, the singer explained: "Definitely. That would be the only right thing to do. I don't feel comfortable with it now. I thought of that right away."
