This album actually changed my life and means so much to me…I’ll love it forever. Also the era I joined this site which is fun! Happy birthday 🌼🍒🪐💫🪽

This song sounded very girl-group, 60s-esque to me and upon further research, I realized that The Shangri-Las had a song titled “Past, Present & Future”. Lana revealed in 2019 that some of her early work with Jack before they settled on a direction for NFR was similar to the LFL title track and she referred to it as “hip-hop girl-group” - so I wonder if this song was borne out of those early 2018 sessions and was revisited/reworked more recently for Lasso.

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.

Speeding down the highway on this sunny day and playing the song on loop..yup. Gonna be number 1 on my Spotify Wrapped for sure

The quality of the video and the way she stuns in the light remind me so much of those 2017 Neil Krug pictures of her in the black dress on her balcony. Like a southern gothic twist on her witchy schtick

Lana linking up with her exes for songs is kind of a girlboss move…breaking hearts and cheques, I know that’s right

It’s really a perfect mix between country and hip-hop - the marriage of genres here feels so natural that I could see it being a centrepiece on Lasso, just to be that one signature upbeat song she typically features on each album. The visuals are too akin to Lana for the song to not be on her album. And I hope that heavenly yet still earthy bridge is indicative of the soundscape for the rest of the album

I don’t think the September date means anything, necessarily, other than about the production time - a lot of her 7 inch vinyl releases had release dates way in advance. Candy Necklace had a fall release date even though it was available to order in the summer.

I love it so much. The video is really setting the tone nicely for a country album from Lana - she looks gorgeous and they complement each other well!

The quality of the music video trailer, her look and the Americana motifs, and the notion of a new LDR song dropping in July are reminding me of summer 2011/the BTD shoot/the original Blue Jeans video but, of course, as something new. So excited for tomorrow

This is a very poignant observation and also ties back into the themes of the title track and the sentiment of not wanting to be forgotten

It’s probably 9 PM PDT on July 3rd / 12 AM EDT on July 4th, hence, the two different dates.

Not the photo being deleted… I don’t know what to think though. I’m still a Tough on Lasso truther but that’s probably because I like the song so much that I want it to be memorialized on Lana’s album lol. Even if he’s doing the heavy lifting in terms of promo, I could see it being tacked onto the album like Doin Time on NFR.

It’s definitely going to be on her album. She has more vocals on the song and it’s melodically and sonically so her - that doesn’t mean it’s not a duet but everything from the song itself to the visuals we saw at Fenway just screams Lana.

Oh Lana coming through with the Americana summer…July 4th has been a national holiday and I’m not even American 🇺🇸
