Who said this?
Probably not since on January and February she was in California and the song was recorded in New York

I’m currently making a writing/recording timeline for Honeymoon! if anyone comes across any information please let me know.
This is what I have so far
March 2014 - Sessions for Ultraviolence end
May-June, 2014: In an interview for Complex magazine, Lana notes: "I actually started conceptually thinking about having a supplement, an addition to this record ('Ultraviolence') that could come very easily. That hasn't happened in a very long time. Not since I wrote the "Paradise" to "Born to Die" that I really liked". Thus, it is likely that Lana's fourth project originally started as an accompanying ep to "Ultraviolence", which probably would have consisted of "Ultraviolence" outtakes and some new songs that were recorded in June-July 2014. But by September 2014, it was clear that the project would develop more, when the first sessions for "Honeymoon" started.
June 2014 - She records Music To Watch Boys To (Also titled Pink Flamingos)
Interviewer: Are You Going To Record Something Tonight? Do You Know What It Is, Or? Lana: I do, yes I do, I have an idea for a record called 'Music to Watch Boys To', so, yeah, I'm just thinking about it and what it will mean
Lana began writing music for the soundtrack to "Big Eyes," which includes:
1. An “I Can Fly” rework
2. “Big Eyes."
3. “Beautiful People”
4. “The Good Life” Cover.
June 2014: She records Beautiful People (Demo 1)
July 30, 2014: She records her cover of “The Good Life”
August 2014 - A demo of Big Eyes is recorded
September 14, 2014 - Sessions for the album begin
Sep/November: She records Salvatore/Soft Ice Cream and Swan Song? (They were both recorded at Electric Lady Studios and she was seen on New York on those months)
Sep-Dec 2014: Dark City, Crazy For You, California, Honeymoon, 24/24 Hours, Dead To Me, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, Freak/Freak Like Me, The Balckest Day and a reworked version of I Can Fly are recorded
Latter half of 2014: A new version of Say Yes To Heaven produced by STINT is made, but was scrapped by being "too overwhelming"
Initially, "Honeymoon" developed more as a pop record, with a return to the "Born to Die" sound. This is indicated by several facts, namely the leaked demos of the tracks "The Blackest Day" and "Freak" (made by the same producer, STINT [Ajay Bhattacharyya]), further, in an October interview for "L'Uomo Vogue," Lana expressed her desire to work with producer Giorgio Moroder, who is considered the father of synth disco and electronic dance music, also one of the mixer/engineers said that the "Honeymoon" demos sounded like the 80s. At the same time, Lana was still searching for a sound: "I'm still looking for something different, with majestic choruses, beautiful orchestrations, '50s-inspired with a little touch of soft grunge." And at some point in the making of the album in 2014, Lana told Rick Nowels, one of the album's two producers, that she wanted to make a jazz album. That's how the tracks "Honeymoon" and "Terrence Loves You" came about, which Rick says are not pure jazz, but her "versions" of jazz tracks (the original title of "Terrence Loves You" was "Jazz and Blues ")
Early 2015: Demos of “Say Yes To Heaven” produced by Stephen Kozmeniuk and Tom Neville are made for the album because of a potential Hugo Boss campaign.
Ultimately the song was dropped from Honeymoon because of the campaign and neither version of the song was approved by Hugo Boss.
January 6 2015: She says she has written 9 songs, “four of which “the production is perfect; I’m looking for a few more songs to tie everything together” and I’m doing a cover of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” She also reveals the tile of the album
January 13, 2015: Lana records Paradise
Jan-Feb 2015: Art Deco, Burnt Norton, Terrence Loves You, Come With Me, If I Die Young, Religion, God Knows I Tried/God Knows are recorded
January 28: She is seen entering a recording studio with Mr. Brainwash
Jan - February 2015: Lana writes “High By The Beach”, “This was probably one of the last ones on the record”
Sometime in 2015: Lana sends a list of songs that need additional production, they were
Crazy For You
Freak
High By The Beach/Get High
God Knows I Tried/God Knows
Honeymoon
Salvatore/Ice Cream
Music To Watch Boys To/Pink Flamingos
Religion
Say Yes To Heaven
Swan Song
This means that Crazy For You and Say Yes To Heaven were serious contenders for the album
February 16, 2015: Lana says to a fan that she was done with Honeymoon
March 31, 2015: On an interview with Mark Ronson he states “I’m going to do some recording with Lana Del Rey today and tomorrow. I found this cool old studio out here.” “She has some songs and I said I had some demo ideas, and if they are any good, then maybe she’ll like them and we’ll go from there.” Later in a Reddit AMA he said “we did an early version of Terrence Loves You which i still love.”
June 24, 2015 - She posts a photo on honeymoon with the caption “So tired in the studio”
June 2015: She records Cry Kill Die and all additional songs are completed
In an interview, Lana revealed that she had written about sixteen songs for "Honeymoon," which turned out to be:
- "Honeymoon";
- "Music to Watch Boys To";
- "Terrence Loves You."
- "God Knows I Tried";
- "High by the Beach”
- "Freak";
- "Art Deco."
- "Religion."
- "Salvatore."
- "The Blackes Day";
- "24";
- "Sawn Song."
- "California"
- "Crazy for You”
- "Paradise"
- "Come with Me"
- "Dead to Me".
- "If I Die Young"
- “Cry Kill Die”
September 2015: She records the first demo of “Lust For Life”
September 18, 2015: Honeymoon comes out
Somewhere in 2015: She records Gucci

I don’t think she worked on anything else with max martin since he probably just helped with the production and/or structure of lust for life (song)

I’m currently making a writing/recording timeline for Honeymoon! if anyone comes across any information please let me know.
This is what I have so far
March 2014 - Sessions for Ultraviolence end
May-June, 2014: In an interview for Complex magazine, Lana notes: "I actually started conceptually thinking about having a supplement, an addition to this record ('Ultraviolence') that could come very easily. That hasn't happened in a very long time. Not since I wrote the "Paradise" to "Born to Die" that I really liked". Thus, it is likely that Lana's fourth project originally started as an accompanying ep to "Ultraviolence", which probably would have consisted of "Ultraviolence" outtakes and some new songs that were recorded in June-July 2014. But by September 2014, it was clear that the project would develop more, when the first sessions for "Honeymoon" started.
June 2014 - She records Music To Watch Boys To (Also titled Pink Flamingos)
Interviewer: Are You Going To Record Something Tonight? Do You Know What It Is, Or? Lana: I do, yes I do, I have an idea for a record called 'Music to Watch Boys To', so, yeah, I'm just thinking about it and what it will mean
Lana began writing music for the soundtrack to "Big Eyes," which includes:
1. An “I Can Fly” rework
2. “Big Eyes."
3. “Beautiful People”
4. “The Good Life” Cover.
June 2014: She records Beautiful People (Demo 1)
July 30, 2014: She records her cover of “The Good Life”
August 2014 - A demo of Big Eyes is recorded
September 14, 2014 - Sessions for the album begin
Sep/November: She records Salvatore/Soft Ice Cream and Swan Song? (They were both recorded at Electric Lady Studios and she was seen on New York on those months)
Sep-Dec 2014: Dark City, Crazy For You, California, Honeymoon, 24/24 Hours, Dead To Me, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, Freak/Freak Like Me, The Balckest Day and a reworked version of I Can Fly are recorded
Latter half of 2014: A new version of Say Yes To Heaven produced by STINT is made, but was scrapped by being "too overwhelming"
Initially, "Honeymoon" developed more as a pop record, with a return to the "Born to Die" sound. This is indicated by several facts, namely the leaked demos of the tracks "The Blackest Day" and "Freak" (made by the same producer, STINT [Ajay Bhattacharyya]), further, in an October interview for "L'Uomo Vogue," Lana expressed her desire to work with producer Giorgio Moroder, who is considered the father of synth disco and electronic dance music, also one of the mixer/engineers said that the "Honeymoon" demos sounded like the 80s. At the same time, Lana was still searching for a sound: "I'm still looking for something different, with majestic choruses, beautiful orchestrations, '50s-inspired with a little touch of soft grunge." And at some point in the making of the album in 2014, Lana told Rick Nowels, one of the album's two producers, that she wanted to make a jazz album. That's how the tracks "Honeymoon" and "Terrence Loves You" came about, which Rick says are not pure jazz, but her "versions" of jazz tracks (the original title of "Terrence Loves You" was "Jazz and Blues ")
Early 2015: Demos of “Say Yes To Heaven” produced by Stephen Kozmeniuk and Tom Neville are made for the album because of a potential Hugo Boss campaign.
Ultimately the song was dropped from Honeymoon because of the campaign and neither version of the song was approved by Hugo Boss.
January 6 2015: She says she has written 9 songs, “four of which “the production is perfect; I’m looking for a few more songs to tie everything together” and I’m doing a cover of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” She also reveals the tile of the album
January 13, 2015: Lana records Paradise
Jan-Feb 2015: Art Deco, Burnt Norton, Terrence Loves You, Come With Me, If I Die Young, Religion, God Knows I Tried/God Knows are recorded
January 28: She is seen entering a recording studio with Mr. Brainwash
Jan - February 2015: Lana writes “High By The Beach”, “This was probably one of the last ones on the record”
Sometime in 2015: Lana sends a list of songs that need additional production, they were
Crazy For You
Freak
High By The Beach/Get High
God Knows I Tried/God Knows
Honeymoon
Salvatore/Ice Cream
Music To Watch Boys To/Pink Flamingos
Religion
Say Yes To Heaven
Swan Song
This means that Crazy For You and Say Yes To Heaven were serious contenders for the album
February 16, 2015: Lana says to a fan that she was done with Honeymoon
March 31, 2015: On an interview with Mark Ronson he states “I’m going to do some recording with Lana Del Rey today and tomorrow.

Okay but honestly before we talk about other outtakes leaking, I think we should talk about If I Die Young in HQ
That song is insanely gorgeous and I don’t even have it in my library cause it sounds like arse

I’m currently making a writing/recording timeline for Honeymoon! if anyone comes across any information please let me know.
This is what I have so far
March 2014 - Sessions for Ultraviolence end
May-June, 2014: In an interview for Complex magazine, Lana notes: "I actually started conceptually thinking about having a supplement, an addition to this record ('Ultraviolence') that could come very easily. That hasn't happened in a very long time. Not since I wrote the "Paradise" to "Born to Die" that I really liked". Thus, it is likely that Lana's fourth project originally started as an accompanying ep to "Ultraviolence", which probably would have consisted of "Ultraviolence" outtakes and some new songs that were recorded in June-July 2014. But by September 2014, it was clear that the project would develop more, when the first sessions for "Honeymoon" started.
June 2014 - She records Music To Watch Boys To (Also titled Pink Flamingos)
Interviewer: Are You Going To Record Something Tonight? Do You Know What It Is, Or? Lana: I do, yes I do, I have an idea for a record called 'Music to Watch Boys To', so, yeah, I'm just thinking about it and what it will mean
Lana began writing music for the soundtrack to "Big Eyes," which includes:
1. An “I Can Fly” rework
2. “Big Eyes."
3. “Beautiful People”
4. “The Good Life” Cover.
June 2014: She records Beautiful People (Demo 1)
July 30, 2014: She records her cover of “The Good Life”
August 2014 - A demo of Big Eyes is recorded
September 14, 2014 - Sessions for the album begin
Sep/November: She records Salvatore/Soft Ice Cream and Swan Song? (They were both recorded at Electric Lady Studios and she was seen on New York on those months)
Sep-Dec 2014: Dark City, Crazy For You, California, Honeymoon, 24/24 Hours, Dead To Me, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, Freak/Freak Like Me, The Balckest Day and a reworked version of I Can Fly are recorded
Latter half of 2014: A new version of Say Yes To Heaven produced by STINT is made, but was scrapped by being "too overwhelming"
Initially, "Honeymoon" developed more as a pop record, with a return to the "Born to Die" sound. This is indicated by several facts, namely the leaked demos of the tracks "The Blackest Day" and "Freak" (made by the same producer, STINT [Ajay Bhattacharyya]), further, in an October interview for "L'Uomo Vogue," Lana expressed her desire to work with producer Giorgio Moroder, who is considered the father of synth disco and electronic dance music, also one of the mixer/engineers said that the "Honeymoon" demos sounded like the 80s. At the same time, Lana was still searching for a sound: "I'm still looking for something different, with majestic choruses, beautiful orchestrations, '50s-inspired with a little touch of soft grunge." And at some point in the making of the album in 2014, Lana told Rick Nowels, one of the album's two producers, that she wanted to make a jazz album. That's how the tracks "Honeymoon" and "Terrence Loves You" came about, which Rick says are not pure jazz, but her "versions" of jazz tracks (the original title of "Terrence Loves You" was "Jazz and Blues ")
Early 2015: Demos of “Say Yes To Heaven” produced by Stephen Kozmeniuk and Tom Neville are made for the album because of a potential Hugo Boss campaign.
Ultimately the song was dropped from Honeymoon because of the campaign and neither version of the song was approved by Hugo Boss.
January 6 2015: She says she has written 9 songs, “four of which “the production is perfect; I’m looking for a few more songs to tie everything together” and I’m doing a cover of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” She also reveals the tile of the album
January 13, 2015: Lana records Paradise
Jan-Feb 2015: Art Deco, Burnt Norton, Terrence Loves You, Come With Me, If I Die Young, Religion, God Knows I Tried/God Knows are recorded
January 28: She is seen entering a recording studio with Mr. Brainwash
Jan - February 2015: Lana writes “High By The Beach”, “This was probably one of the last ones on the record”
