As a strictly un-political artist, it was pleasant surprise to see Lana Del Rey release 'Looking For America' last year. The song was made available on the day it was written, and was penned in response to the Dayton and El Paso shootings in the US in summer 2019. Sonically, it reflects the pared down approach taken by Del Rey on her critically acclaimed album Norman Fucking Rockwell, while thematically it longs for safer, calmer times.
