when Lana is actually shooting a short film for this era. 

the second half of A&W has so many callbacks... the beat reminds me of the BTD title track beat... the man sound thing reminds me of BTD... the strings that reminds me of NFR title track and BTD title track, the baby voice, jimmy, the overall channeling of 2010-2012 energy, it's like she's taking that version of herself and twisting it on its head, iconic!

can we keep our eyes on the film references throughout the album too? so far we got:
 
paris, texas -> song title
'teenage diary of a girl' -> a&w lyric -> maybe about the film which is actually titled 'the diary of a teenage girl'  (shes just like me for getting it wrong)
this property is condemned -> standard album cover art
 
curious if anymore are coming 

Also I think the Ramada inn she is specifically referencing is the one by the 60 freeway. It borders El Monte, San Gabriel, and Rosemead so the context of the lyrics make sense. (I lived in Rosemead and we stayed there once when I was a child)
 
Also! A stretch but an interesting thought, Ramada sounds a lot like Ramera which is slang for whore in Spanish. 

It’s not Valentine’s Day, it’s A&W Day 

I have to echo someone's sentiments from earlier that if you're STILL complaining/hating the music after listening to A&W, seriously consider the thought that Lana might not be the artist for you anymore. There's no going backwards from here.

we thought she was only sampling herself on the closing track but it seems like it might be something consistent throughout the album? I'm living for this tbh like yes bitch your music is that good, sample it

it's not about having someone to love me anymore
now this is the experience of being an american whore
 
 
 
*transition starts*
 

 
 

Are we gonna talk about her saying if she was raped she would expect everyone to say she was asking for it?? And saying she didn’t testify so she fucked up?? Oh my god Lana. This is like fmwuttt but. More graphic. 

Tbh the biggest surprise about this song was that it didn't leak

Lana del Rey has a song, she sneezes at 3:13
Something about the way that she says "American Whore" makes me feel like
I just wish to get fucked like her
Someone to blow my back
Leaning on my back, whispering in my ear "come on baby, open wide"
But I can't 
 
 
Not but for real she sneezes at 3:13 on A&W

i am unable to form thoughts after today… the eye makeup for interview mag, the leather man behind her, the cigarette the slutty wedding gown the words on A&W so sexy and naughty i’m truly gagged. she’s serving so hard i don’t believe it 

I'm really excited to hear how Sweet sounds sandwiched in between the title track and A&W now that we've heard them both

me when I'm about to press play on the album on march 24th:
 

THE MASTER. THE LORD. THE EMPEROR. THE KING. THE GOAT.
 

me when idk the words to a new song but wanna vibe with it anyway 

There is still so much to process for me, I don't even know what to say about this song other than it's genius, wild & a career highlight
Also this might be the best production Jack has done with Lana for my liking,  he produced some career highlights with Lana for sure but he really served extra hard on this one & I'm proud of him & of Sam who did the percussion I think. But I'm still super shook how Lana sometimes wakes up & comes up with songs like West Coast,  Venice Bitch & A&W etc.  she truly is a genius  
I guess that's coming from the experience of being an american whore
 
0.00 till 7.13 perfection

Had just posted this in the IG thread, but I guess we know why she didn’t announce the single earlier - our girl was off snoozing x
 

A&W messed me up, and it’s literally one song  I seriously don’t know how I’m gonna react to 14 tracks at the same time on 24 march   I’m not ready 

Can you believe how hard we won today 
This was like the best Valentine's Day ever & I'm afraid no future Valentine's Day will be able to top that  Her impact 

okay but the fact lana still has such a hold on the general public despite the fact she never announces anything is honestly astounding 

A&W (feat. Ice Spice) 

Fr just dramatic as always, anyways I am ready to stream it on loop whole day tomorrow yall better have the same energy!   Also I hope we get some signed stuff along with the merch

expect she didn’t break her arm this time. there is no reason for it to not be released other than ben and ed hating the people who support them

taking a double dose of my hydroxyzine tonight because I know I won’t be able to sleep and hopefully will wake up to a new single
