Looking for America already getting excellent reviews from NYTimes, Rolling Stone, and Time (among others)
“Written on Monday, teased with a snippet on Instagram that same day, and then released in full on Friday, Lana Del Rey’s “Looking for America” is a rapid-response protest song — following a slew of mass shootings — from an artist whose tortured relationship to an idealized America has always been central to her persona. “Pulled over to watch the children in the park/We used to only worry for them after dark,” she sings, lightly vibrating with anger. What makes this protest so striking is that Del Rey sings about the country’s fall from grace (“I’m still looking for my own version of America/One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly”) with a convincing wistfulness, the sort that jingoists think is all their own.” The New York Times
“The song is as spare and simple as a Sixties folk epistle. Its theme of American travel and discovery evokes Simon and Garfunkel, her voice is as plaintively beautiful as Joan Baez’s, and her ability to turn grim news into potent art is on par with the Bob Dylan of “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” or “A Pawn in Their Game.” Those songs were recorded in response to racist violence during the Civil Rights era, chronicling moments of terror amid a rising tide of hope that America was on the verge of historic change and expanding promise. There’s hope in “Looking For America” too, but it’s growing faint, fading into a darkness we may never come out of.” Rolling Stone
“Lana Del Rey has rarely sounded so ethereal and angelic as on “Looking for America,” a lullaby of a song that hides in its delicate acoustic folds a deep melancholy and a timely, gentle protest. “Pulled over to watch the children in the park/ We used to only worry for them after dark,” she sings. “I’m still looking for my own version of America/ One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly.” It’s an indictment of the ongoing gun violence in the U.S., a mourner’s attempt at expressing grief. (She said that she wrote it just after the recent El Paso and Dayton attacks, with an assist from Jack Antonoff.) The song is a salve and an attempt at solidarity for a nation continuing to cope. And for Lana, whose artistic image has always been intricately tied to a mythologized Americana aesthetic, it’s a start at reckoning with the darkness she has often embraced.” Time magazine

There are things that I've been reading in the last few pages and that truly horrify me. Not gonna quote everybody, it's seriously tiring, concerned people will recognise themselves.
To the person who said Lana wrote about straight rich white kids and not about black kids or homeless gay kids: I thought it was pretty obvious that this song's about ALL kids no matter their origin and their sexual orientation, moreover why the fuck would she talk about homeless gay kids in a song about massive shootings??? And yeah, Lana could've written a song about homeless gay kids, but at this point, everybody could've. There are many bisexuel or gay artists out there who don't even write about gays and you come at Lana for writing a song about her wish of an America where ALL kids would be safe instead of writing about homeless gay kids? Think twice before posting that kind of useless shit.
And to all the people who think she should've not released this song because she's a rich white woman, I truly don't understand. What's the problem if she wants to write about what concerns her the most? How the hell is being rich and white a problem to the point she shouldn't write about massive shootings? If you always think that there are other problems in the world that should be talked about and that mass shootings shouldn't be the affair of a rich white woman, you'll never make anything get better. I truly believe some of you don't fully get the meaning of that song. It's rationally impossible to blame Lana for writing about that.
