Lana Del Rey has shared a new song called “Looking for America”—a collaboration with Jack Antonoff that was written in response to the recent string of mass shootings. “Now I know I’m not a politician and I’m not trying to be so excuse me for having an opinion—but in light of all of the mass shootings and the back to back shootings in the last couple of days which really affected me on a cellular level I just wanted to post this video that our engineer Laura took 20 minutes ago,” she wrote. “I hope you like it.” Watch her record the new song in the studio on Instagram.
