I feel like this song might be a (for lack of a better phrase) big fuck you to everyone in the music industry that rejected her before now.
"now my life is sweet like cinnamon" Cinnamon is obviously not sweet, making this a bittersweet phrase, sweet because people are now listening to her music, however, she is now successful in an industry that is incredibly superficial (as Lana managed to prove herself) which is obviously a bad thing.
"Lick me up and take me like a vitamin
Cause my body's sweet like sugar venom o yeah
bay luv me cause i'm playin on the radio" - this is the "fuck you" to people who have rejected her music in the past. She is now successful, and her music is played everywhere so people will have no choice but listen to her (love me cause i'm playing on the radio) . She is sweet like sugar venom because some people obviously now like her music, and people who have rejected her in the past will be kicking themselves, making her sugar venom.
I don't know, this interpretation is a little vague though haha. Anyone agree with these points?
I completely agree. I think though she is also reflecting on how she got to this point in her life and it is bittersweet that so many people didn't believe in her but now she has the F you :) very valid points

Agreeing with everyone above on interpretation, and lovelove the tune/production, but I just saw the writers of the song (just after the lyrics, above): Talay Riley, Jamaal Fyffe, Peter Parker, Kyle James, Jody Connor.

The song does seem to sit very well with the way Lana tells her story (except the "finally find you" part, possibly). It's a theme everybody can relate to, as well, overcoming "them". My guess would be: the music, and the singer, guided the lyrics writing :).

Oops, it seems the proper credits are: Del Rey, Parker... indicating that she wrote the lyrics, Parker the music, if I got that right ... hm.
