"Beautiful" appears to be about retaining one's individuality and embracing one's emotions to create beauty in life. The first verse addresses the pressure to conform to someone else's idea of happiness and the frustration it causes for the singer. The pre-chorus references the artist Pablo Picasso and the idea that if he had not embraced his sadness, he may not have become the celebrated artist he is today. The chorus repeats the word "beautiful" and suggests that even in one's sadness, there is beauty.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the difficulty in staying true to oneself while also trying to keep a partner happy. The pre-chorus again references Picasso and reinforces the idea that by embracing one's emotions, beauty can be created. The repeated chorus highlights the idea that beauty can be found in sadness and encourages the listener to embrace their emotions and individuality.
It is the seventh track of Lana Del Rey's eighth studio album, Blue Banisters.
