Singing like a canary: Lana Del Rey has confessed there is an element of truth to her new song F****d My Way Up To The Top as she covers Complex magazine

The singer, whose real name is Elizabeth Grant, told Complex: 'You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry.

'But none of them helped me get my record deals. Which is annoying.'

Lana was previously engaged to Jock rocker Barrie-James O'Neill, and has also had rumoured flings with the likes of Marilyn Manson, Asap Rocky and even Guns 'n' Roses singer Axl Rose.

'I like a physical love. I like a hands-on love,' she said during the interview. 'How can I say this without getting into too much trouble? I like a tangible, passionate love. For me, if it isn’t physical, I’m not interested.

'Everything else is so hard; hopefully love is the one thing that is actually fun.'

The star didn't hold back during the interview, and also spoke candidly about her vices.

'Well, smoking is one of them. Sugar, coffee. I must have 13 cups a day. It’s a shame about the health consequences because a lot of great things happen over coffee and a cigarette. A lot of great songs were written,' she said.

Lana's career has certainly not been hampered by her dalliances or guilty pleasures.

In fact her new album topped the charts in its first week of release back in June.

'Because that gold and platinum stuff, it doesn’t mean as much if you’re walking down the street and you can hear people saying things about you. That doesn’t even out,' she said.

She added: 'The good thing about catching so much grief from critics is that you literally do not f***ing care. It put me in a mind frame where I expect things not to go right, because they generally don’t.'

It was the former boarding school pupil's first platter reach the summit of the Billboard 200. selling an impressive 182,000 copies.

And it was the largest sales week for a female since December 2013, when Beyonce's self-titled album sold 310,000 in its third week in the charts.

This is not the first time she has raised eyebrows while promoting her latest release, as she claimed in June she wished she were dead.

It caused an angry response from tragic Nirvana star Kurt Cobain’s daughter Frances Bean, who tweeted musicians should stop romanticising dying young.
