I wanna say it's a little nod to the Shangri-Las/girl group vibe she's going for-- the Shangri-Las' famous hit "Leader of the Pack" is about a girl's motorcyclist boyfriend who dies in a crash. Plus, she semi-references the Angels' hit "My Boyfriend's Back" in the lyrics.

Regardless of the outcome, Valentina still won season 9. Just like Katya won season 7. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I absolutely loved it-- to me, this perfectly embodies Lana's concept of "retro sensibility, with a futuristic flair." Both the more literal callbacks (Lana's outfit, the TV performance-esque setup at the beginning, plus backup dancers) and the more subtle (the sweetness and simplicity, the peace sign imagery) really hearken back to the sixties, while keeping a grip on Lana's current message of hope and stability in today's world.
I also appreciated the connecting sequence to Love-- my theory, like others that've posted here, is that the Love video is what's taking place in her mind as she's performing in the LFL video, ostensibly for TV. I think she and Abel represent almost god-like characters (I don't feel that they're dead, necessarily), and their jump off the sign is not suicide, but descending "down to Earth" to bring their message to the youth of America. It's almost a Ziggy Stardust-type setup, imo-- an alien/supernatural singer comes to Earth to spread a message of peace and love to a troubled and receptive group of young people. I really like the concept, and I'm enjoying seeing how the various themes Lana's presented thus far (1960s, witchcraft, peace/love, space) are tying together.
All in all, I think it's a very lovely treatment, and it's really made me appreciate the song and era more. I'm finally, officially excited for what's to come!
(also, I think it's too common for people today to claim things are "cringey" just because they're whimsical, silly, or fun-- you're welcome to your opinion, but I find little touches like the ribbon boat to be really cute. There's nothing wrong with having a little bit of wonder, and nothing wrong with Lana doing something lighthearted and sweet, even if it borders on childish, imo. We could all use some lightening up, I think )

The last album of Lana's that I would consider "jumped around a lot" in terms of sound was a certain 2010 release that's very, very important to me...
it's AKA pt. 2, ladies
:rollin: :rollin:
Praying that LFL delivers that kind of diversity. I'm hyped again
