THAT LOOKS SO GOOD

[bluechemtrails 26,723]

I'm excited!

[Mer 61,735]

I am excited for the video but I still cannot take these lyrics seriously. If I ever meet Jack Antonoff I am going to lob a dictionary at him because what the fuck.

I genuinely hope it's just a vanity credit and she was not involved in writing the lyrics: "Threw her T-shirt down the Pike/Screamin', "Fuck Balenciaga"/Right past the Wawa (alma mater)/As she alligator cries, Lana"

This song kinda sounds AI-generated 

[The Sun Also Rises 5,557]

Still can't vibe with the song at all but I can't wait for the video, loving the vintage vibes and Lana looks incredible on the poster

also, the movie scenes on the poster partly look like if you ask AI "show scenes from a Lana Del Rey music video"

Spoiler

i listened to the song once. zero interest in the video.

[Venice Peach 54,293]

Waiting for the Margaret unofficial MV edits from this 

She has the whole needed cast right there

[Rico25 7,889]

Where's the A&W video tho 

[Beautiful Loser 48,805]

I keep forgetting about this. Finally listened to it now. Like mer said, the lyrics aren't it. Am I stupid or is he singing about his university and reminiscing college days or? Aside from that, I think it sounds pretty nice though, it might be something I would've added to a chill playlist on Spotify and eventually forget about.

like the song itself, the video is one big whatever

I listened to the song for the first time yesterday and.....it was probably the cringiest song I've ever heard. Like what the fuck was that:

She's my alma mater

Chasin' lines all night

Smokin' me outta sight

Well, summer's gettin' hotter

Threw her T-shirt down the pike

Screamin', "Fuck Balenciaga"

Right past the Wawa

Threw on "Heartattack and Vine"

As she alligator cries

I'll make it darker

2003, sad all the time

 

This isn't even camp, it's like something what a pretentious nerdy Instagram kid in high school, who thinks they were born in a wrong generation, would write. Sorry this was too specific, I know that Jack isn't like this but I know that he's capable of doing better music. The production reminded me of Midnights album a lot. Like the song isn't bad, it's just so weird, the whole time I listened to the song my face was like this  Lana's part was good though, the "I'll make it darker" part. I wouldn't mind listening to this part for 10 hours, it was like so smooth.

Lana is co-writer and co-producer

Genius says that Wawa references an American chain, Heartattack and Vine an album by Tom Waits and Balenciaga an ad campaign scandal with teddy bears wearing BDSM accessories. But it's still all very mysterious and encrypted for me too.

"Something a pretentious nerdy Instagram kid in high school, who thinks they were born in a wrong generation, would write" is the best way to describe the lyrics of this song, lol. What in the actual world. But I really dig the vibe, tho. The video is super cool. I like this song way better than "Secret Life" imo, even if Lana's barely in it.
