Beautiful Loser

The song has been on repeat today, it's so catchy and fun. It embraces that kind of "traditional", perhaps "stereotypical" American country-side life with family & friends type quite well lyrically and visually in that music video. I love to watch it all the time, especially because of Lana's and Quavo's chemistry. She looks super beautiful in those scenes, especially the black jacket scene, where she's just stunning! One of my favorite music videos for sure, I'd like to see that on TV music channels and also the song in local radios! The bridge is a killer, it really reminds me of Born To Die/Paradise era, it's so high and ethereal, just so gorgeous. Especially with her vocals. I'd like to see more vibes like these in Lasso and other songs! I loved how Quavo's and Lana's vocals melt so sweetly and smoothly in the chorus part, when they sing together. I kinda found Quavo's autotuned "grandpa's glass" and "brr brr" part funny, not gonna lie, hahah.

Oh  it was fun for a one time thing, I don’t know about a whole album 

It’s too short omggg, I need more! This gonna stay on repeat all summerrrr aaaahhhh, love it! 

Her gigglessss! 

LMFAOOO

can’t get over how catchy this is 
 
in my head, i group this song with likeeee High by the Beach, Peppers, Summer Bummer, and Diet Mountain Dew….all catchy, melodic trappy/poppy songs that aren’t lyrical powerhouses but soo infectious 

i wonder what quavos fav lana song is and vice versa! id love to be a fly on the wall for one of their conversations lol

Omg people are being so horrible to Clay in his IG comments like whats the deal Lana is presumably on good terms with him, let him be even if he's corny. Inb4 Clay gives Lana her first #1 

”Thank you for calling Lana Del Rey, we’ll be in touch” 

oh boy this is a hit already, the mv has reached #1 worldwide on youtube 

So Tough went #82 on Apple Music Us top 100, mind you yes to heaven her biggest hit went #168 3 days after the release we r so getting that collab album

Adding to the discourse…I think it’s fun and both lyrically and sonically does a lot to build the thematic and atmospheric world that Lana could very well be going for on a country album.
 
It’s a heavily stylized track, which is a nice breath from the cathartic, dense, and wordy output of the last few records——which was very intellectual, profound, and beautiful, and bore some of her best work ever, and I’d love to hear some of that with a country flair on Lasso——but as she herself said, it sounds like she’s now in a more melodic place where the emphasis is on the sound and style than any detailed lyrical exploration.
 
Hence, a genre as specific and motif-driven as country makes perfect sense for her to dive into fully now.

When it comes to describing the project, Lana used the term "Americana" back in September. In January she said she's going "country". And her most recent comment was that the album is more melodic (and less self-revealing, which doesn't mean that there won't be personal and/or complex songs btw) than COCC, BB and Ocean Blvd and more "American songbook"-like. So...I really don't think that it'll be an album full of toughs. And based on the aesthetics and her overall vibes this year, I'm not getting stereotypical yeehaw country vibes either!

I really really love the outro, especially the instrumental, it’s so Born To Die
 
So is the bridge 

omg not everything has to be a kintsugi level of songwriting, whatever happened to fun???? 

The video is so cute, help!  And Lana’s smile at “hard” lmao 

Double warning points.

Hey guys so a couple of weeks ago I found this registration on a website. I didn’t think much of it, cause this was before we found out Clayton and Jack were involved with Tough. Now that Eclipse shared the writing credits for the song, I noticed something interesting. Joshua Dorr is credited on both Tough and this song. Now that this song seems more likely to be real, I’m thinking that this could be the side b for the Tough vinyl! What do you guys think? 
 
 

andrew watt of doin' time? 
 
okay, we need him take over lasso in full
