A little note at the beginning: I can really feel about a lot stuff (songs, albums...) different at the beginning, and as time goes, it can like change completely, like when Honeymoon came out, I knew Salvatore as my least favorite track, but now it's one of my Lana favorites, though in this case there already some things kind of disqualifying it. It's a long story xd, but Lana's last era has really influenced the way I see many things and this song is kind of not on board with it. It really touches my heart, especially the chorus, but due to the snippet, which I absolutely loved (the way snippets can trick people is so dangerous), my very high expectations didn't have a lot of to do with what was ultimately released. But instead of going too deep, I'll just share the thought that I like how intimate about her relationship it is though I think some lyrics, whereas it is generally well written, could have been done better. And I adore the intro, especially the keyboard-driven part, which gives me feelings close to a reality similar, but not the same, that Lana's pre-Honeymoon works had. I additionally like how diverse Lana's vocals are in it, some of them are what I didn't know if Lana would sing like again. Another important thing for me is that based on this track and the words said by Lana in the interview, the upcoming record will possibly have a sound similar to Ultraviolence, which doesn't make me too happy, but we don't know how it will exactly work yet. The outro "Are you ready for it?" (no Taylor Swift pun) creates a feeling of an opening to her new era. What also got my attention is that the moment with the electric guitar just gives me the Green Light's outro realness in spite of not being the same.

However, all things considered, it doesn't define my opinion on the record, because literally every lead single Lana's put out doesn't share at least that many similarities with the full body of work, and it happens that the first single is one of my least favorite songs in some cases. Time will tell the truth! :)
